The Impacts of Social Media on Citizen.pdfKebede Michael
This thesis examines the relationship between increasing social media use and citizen security behaviors in Mexico as drug trafficking violence has skyrocketed over the past decade. It analyzes how drug trafficking organizations and law-abiding citizens utilize social media and the impacts on security trends. The thesis also considers potential future scenarios for how social media could shape security dynamics in Mexico.
Based on the background provided, it seems the key problem is that as mainstream media became restricted in Ethiopia, social media emerged as an important alternative platform for political discussion and mobilization during the nationwide protests from 2015-2018 against the authoritarian EPRDF regime. However, the role of social media in influencing the ongoing political reform process in Ethiopia has not been sufficiently studied. This thesis aims to investigate and understand this role.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
