The Statistical & Social Inquiry Society of Ireland invites you to attend, on April 30th, the sixth Ordinary Meeting of its 178th session, where a symposium on "Big Tech and Big Data - New Frontiers in Regulation" will be held. The symposium will include contributions from:

Professor Taha Yasseri. Taha is the Workday Full Professor and Chair of Technology and Society at Trinity College Dublin and TU Dublin, where he directs the Joint Centre for Sociology of Humans and Machines (SOHAM). He is also an adjunct Full Professor at UCD's School of Mathematics and Statistics. Formerly a Turing Fellow and Senior Research Fellow at Oxford, he holds a PhD in Complex Systems Physics from the University of Göttingen. His research explores human dynamics, machine behaviour, online politics, and collective intelligence using large-scale data and behavioural experiments.
Dr. Marco Bastos. Marco is an Assistant Professor and Ad Astra Fellow at University College Dublin and Senior Lecturer at City, University of London. He has held research positions at UC Davis, Duke, São Paulo, and Goethe University. His research explores the social implications of technology, including the dynamics of social influence and contagion and the forecasting of social phenomena with digital trace data. Methodologically, Marco’s research leverages network science and computational methods to explore political communication, algorithmic filtering, and the study of problematic content and misinformation online.
