Julita Vassileva, Professor of Computer Science, mentions the recent voter behavior manipulation on Facebook by Cambridge Analytica as an evocative example: "Such cases have attracted a lot of public attention and raised justified fears of the unbounded power of Big Data and AI. However, the same technologies can be deployed to educate people about social media use and help them overcome their online addictions."
