Challenging social media threats using collective well-being-aware recommendation algorithms and an educational virtual companion

Abstract: Social media have become an integral part of our lives, expanding our interlinking capabilities to new levels. There is plenty to be said about their positive effects. On the other hand, however, some serious negative implications of social media have been repeatedly highlighted in recent years, pointing at various threats to society and its more vulnerable members, such as teenagers, in particular, ranging from much-discussed problems such as digital addiction and polarization to manipulative influences of al… Show more

“…The categorization of AI applications proposed by Zawacki-Richter in [42] identified four categories: application for profiling and prediction, application to support assessment and evaluation, adaptive systems and personalisation, and intelligent tutoring systems. The COURAGE conceptual framework provides different contributions in these four areas with specific modules, in which the interconnection between the theoretical pedagogical strategies and the educational application of AI approaches plays a relevant role [43].…”

“…As AI algorithms of social media platforms do not directly counter threats for teenagers but may actually worsen and amplify them, in the COURAGE project we propose the adoption of a virtual learning companion (VLC) powered by an AI system that counters these threats and the platform specific algorithmic hazards [43]. The VLC AI system developed comprises adaptive detectors of content and network threats, user models to support personalized interventions as well as content and educational activity recommendations.…”

“…Our starting point is the observation that social media users often have a limited understanding of the platforms and their algorithms and, more importantly, the effects of their actions on others' experiences and the proliferation of toxic phenomena [66,123]. We present a framework that serves as a machine-learningbased social media education tool that aims at integrating solutions to the above-mentioned problems directly in the users' social media experience [96] 1 . As such the user's feed is augmented automatically with additional information on the content and underlying producing social network, as can be seen in Fig.…”
