In the People’s Republic of China, a number of social media platforms created in the West, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, are restricted by the Great Firewall.

Nevertheless, over the past five years, the number of accounts on these sites created by Chinese officials, journalists, and other actors has been on the rise. These accounts aim to affect the attitudes of individuals living outside of China.

In this talk, Dr Naima Green-Riley, Visiting Fellow on the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, will discuss the content and dissemination of internationally-targeted social media messaging campaigns from various Chinese sources. She will also discuss how generative artificial intelligence tools (AI) have been used in these campaigns, and their prospects for influence on political and social attitudes moving forward.

This talk is in-person only in Oxford
