Un ffordd neu鈥檙 llall, mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn troi o amgylch hysbysebu. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig yn yr effeithiau newydd y mae cyfryngau wedi鈥檜 rhwydweithio鈥檔 eu cael ar hysbysebu yn gyffredinol. Mae鈥檙 rhain yn eang iawn, ond hyd yma mae fy ngwaith yn y maes hwn wedi ymdrin 芒 deall cysylltiadau wedi鈥檜 personoli a rhai autopoietig gyda systemau hysbysebu; goblygiadau hysbysebu digidol i breifatrwydd; diwylliannau firaol a hysbysebu; moeseg, cyfraith a rheoleiddio hysbysebu digidol; a swyddogaeth creadigrwydd mewn hysbysebu. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb mewn goruchwylio myfyrwyr sydd eisiau gwneud ymchwil ym meysydd hysbysebu, creadigrwydd, diwylliant digidol, cyfryngau digidol neu breifatrwydd.

• False information proliferates online, despite years of multi-stakeholder efforts to quell it. In September 2022, Vian Bakir (Prof. of Journalism & PolComms, SHiLSS) and Andrew McStay (Prof. of Digital Life, SHiLSS) were invited by the UK Parliament鈥檚 Online Harms and Disinformation Sub-Committee to provide evidence to their Inquiry into Misinformation and Trusted Voices. They addressed one of the Inquiry鈥檚 questions: namely: Is the provision of authoritative information responsive enough to meet the challenge of misinformation that is spread on social media? Now published, one of their conclusions is that rather than having to make difficult content moderation decisions about what is true and false on the fly and at scale, it may be better to ensure that digital platforms鈥� algorithms optimise emotions for social good rather than just for the platform and its advertisers鈥� profit. What this social good optimisation would look like is worthy of further study, but they posit that this would likely involve dialling down the platform鈥檚 emotional contagion, and engagement, of users.

• Based on our synthesis of research from academia, investigative journalism and regulatory and political inquiries, we find:

  - Extensive use of deception and emotion in campaigning for the 2016 鈥楤rexit鈥� referendum.

  - Techniques for targeting citizens with emotive and deceptive information have intensified in terms of granularity of targeting; and remain hidden from the view of the wider community or nation.

  - False messages prompt reactions of fear, disgust and surprise, and have a propensity towards recirculation online.

  To address this, we recommend:

  - That there be incentives for digital political campaigners to act ethically, and for their behaviour to be critically and regularly reflected upon by society.

  - Specifically, we recommend the institution of publicly available self-evaluations by all political campaign groups post-elections to: Summarise which audiences were targeted, and with what success; Reflect upon which aspects of the campaign most succeeded in mobilising voters (e.g. specific adverts, messages, themes, memes); Reflect upon whether the campaign gave voters enough information with which to make an informed choice on which to base their electoral decision (i.e. was information true, complete, undistorted and relevant?); Reflect upon to what extent the campaign was civil.

  - We further recommend that this self-reporting be incentivised via: An independent panel (of diverse stakeholders, including fact-checkers, academics, and campaigners from opposing sides) to verify, and critically comment upon, the self-evaluations; A kite-mark system to brand the veracity and civility of the campaigning; Ensuring that this is covered by the media, post-election, and that the analysis is available online in a public archive.

• The UK Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee launched the Reality TV inquiry in May 2019 following events leading up to the decision to axe The Jeremy Kyle Show. It is considering the duty of care offered by broadcasters and programme makers to participants of reality TV shows.听

  The Network for Media & Persuasive Communication submitted written evidence focusing on DCMS' question:听What is the future for reality TV of this kind? How does it听accord with our understanding of, and evolving attitudes to, mental health?

  The submission听offers听a cautionary note on a likely future of听reality听media -听where听the media industry听makes use of data听about emotions听to听add new layers of engagement听through听鈥渆motional AI鈥�.听This听emotional AI听entails听affective computing and AI techniques听that听read and react to emotions through text, voice, computer vision and biometric sensing.听While听usage of听emotional AI听has scope to enhance experience of media,听there is scope听for abuse听when competing for audience attention, engagement听and advertising revenue.

  The submission recommends that:

  - Regulators and policymakers are suitably aware of media and technological trends described in this document: namely,听the potential dangers of a media environment in which emotion is quantified and utilised by the media industry.

  -听Media companies and home technology providers understand that regulators and policymakers are aware of these developments and are willing听to regulate if听there is听misuse,or听if听individual, collective or technological vulnerabilities (such as lack of awareness of 鈥渃onsent鈥� to domestic profiling)听are exploited.

  -听There听is听further engagement with academics and other specialists on these questions.
