You are invited to join the Research Data Alliance for an upcoming webinar with Dr. Silvia Milano – Head of Research at The Ethical Data Initiative Munich, exploring how recommender systems – the algorithms behind platforms like Netflix, Spotify and social media – shape our digital experiences, and why we need to rethink them beyond clicks, engagement and revenue.

This session will explore recommender systems through the lens of fairness, diversity of viewpoints, informed choice, and social good. A timely discussion for anyone interested in AI, ethical data, digital platforms, and the future of online information environments.

The webinar will be run twice to accommodate different time zones. The second session takes place Tuesday 30 June: 17:30-18:15 UTC.

It is free to attend and open to all. Register at https://www.rd-alliance.org/news/rda-webinar-recommender-systems-for-social-good-dr-silvia-milano/
