The Future of Research on Social Technologies: CCC Workshop Visioning Report
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Social technologies are the systems, interfaces, features, infrastructures,
and architectures that allow people to interact with each other online. These
technologies dramatically shape the fabric of our everyday lives, from the
information we consume to the people we interact with to the foundations of our
culture and politics. While the benefits of social technologies are well
documented, the harms, too, have cast a long shadow. To address widespread
problems like harassment, disinformation, information access, and mental health
concerns, we need to rethink the foundations of how social technologies are
designed, sustained, and governed.
This report is based on discussions at the Computing Community Consortium
Workshop, The Future of Research on Social Technologies, that was held November
2-3, 2023 in Washington, DC. The visioning workshop came together to focus on
two questions. What should we know about social technologies, and what is
needed to get there? The workshop brought together over 50 information and
computer scientists, social scientists, communication and journalism scholars,
and policy experts. We used a discussion format, with one day of guiding topics
and a second day using an unconference model where participants created
discussion topics. The interdisciplinary group of attendees discussed gaps in
existing scholarship and the methods, resources, access, and collective effort
needed to address those gaps. We also discussed approaches for translating
scholarship for various audiences including citizens, funders, educators,
industry professionals, and policymakers.
This report presents a synthesis of major themes during our discussions. The
themes presented are not a summary of what we know already, they are an
exploration of what we do not know enough about, and what we should spend more
effort and investment on in the coming years.
