1/2 The Opening Up Minds project starts today, bringing together computer scientists, computational linguists, psychologists and philosophers from @OUComputing, @Cambridge_CL, @sheffielduni and the Cambridge Lab of Toshiba Research Europe .
Wonder whether Wizards and Conversational Agents can open up minds? Find out about the data, metrics and experiments at today's #ACL2023NLP #SICon2023 poster presented by @YoumnaFarag

Of course our @OpeningUpMinds project was wonderfully summarised by @logicMachines - watch this space for conference papers/preprints etc coming soon esp. re the "Ideological Turing Test" 😏 @YoumnaH also had a demo of our bot to show

This was a fantastic workshop- so many fascinating people, projects and datasets! Some highlights, tho you should definitely look up every single participant in the program as they were all brilliant! 👇🏻
Call for participation at the Delibertion4Good workshop! We are gathering people from computer, psychology, political sciences and everyone interested in how people collaborate to solve problems.

'These results suggest that the attitudes of the vaccine hesitant are modifiable with exposure to in-depth, trustworthy and engaging dialogues.' by @LottyBrand @tomstafford from the Opening Up Minds team royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
Great to see our video by the Opening Up Minds team shown today as part of British Science Week. atadastral.co.uk/bsw/video/o… #BSW22 @OU_STEM

Critical feedback extremely welcome and encouraged!! 👇👇 Please, kind scrupulous scientists, point out our flaws so that we may improve before submission 🙏. I'm Quite Tired now, Merry Holidays everyone ✌️🎄
New preprint dropped:
Covid-19 vaccine dialogues increase vaccination intentions and attitudes
in a vaccine-hesitant UK population. psyarxiv.com/kz2yh
@tomstafford and I replicate the chatbot effect found by @Sacha_Altay et al last year in a vaccine-hesitant UK population
Opening up research! - Contributions from @LottyBrand
and @tomstafford of the @OpeningUpMinds team to the "House of Common Science and Technology Committee inquiry on reproducibility and research integrity" osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv/r… and committees.parliament.uk/wri…
At ~2:28, interesting recommendations for what social media platforms should encourage their users to do: "(...) consider the language they use, to have an open mind, to be tolerant (...)"!

(I was inspired to listen to the podcast after reading @tomstafford 's blog, and chuffed to realise it's related to the project we're working on with @OpeningUpMinds ) So much fascinating work going on in this area, struggling to keep a lid on it! tomstafford.substack.com/p/a…

I've only just discovered "Across The Red Line" @BBCRadio4 and, wow. It starts out like any debate, you're furiously disagreeing/agreeing, but then the magic happens. There is a *moment.* It's kind of like therapy for people who're ideologically opposed? bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b09l0d…

Combine these tips with some digital thinking tools to further boost their effectiveness. You can find out more by completing the @OUFreeLearning course developed by my @OUComputing colleague, Paul Piwek (@logicMachines)

Nice video resonating very much with the aims of the opening up minds project.
We have access to so much information at the click of a button, but not all of what's out there is quite what it seems.
From being aware of confirmation bias to checking your sources, here are 5 simple ways to sharpen your critical thinking:
