SYNOPSIS
Social media connects billions across the globe, shaping how we communicate, learn, and live. But at what cost? In this engaging and thought-provoking talk, Mia Marenco—an ethics committee representative at BCS and an expert in mental health, healthcare informatics, AI, and decentralized technologies—will explore the ethical dilemmas and risks lurking behind our screens.
