Professor Andy Perfors will discuss how the incentive structures and nature of these systems are misaligned with human cognition, and how this is exploited by malicious actors. You'll also walk away with some ideas for what we can do as both individuals and organisations or institutions.BioProfessor Andy PerforsAndrew Perfors is the Director of the Complex Human Data Hub in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne.
