Social Computing embodies the intricate interplay between evolving computational systems and dynamic societal behaviors. This field examines how technology can be crafted to interpret and enhance human interactions and observes these systems’ transformative influence on our social fabric.

In this seminar, we journey through the modern landscape of social computing, diving into topics such as the societal implications of General Artificial Intelligence, the merging of tangible and digital realities in Mixed Reality, the role of Chatbots and Social Bots in reshaping online interactions, and the decentralized potential of Blockchain and Web 3.0. We’ll delve into the formation and nuances of digital communities, the sociotechnical facets of modern software practices like DevOps and MLOps, and the transformative power of digital platforms in socio-political arenas. Through a blend of theory and real-world examples, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the intertwined nature of technology and society, preparing them to engage critically with the digital age’s multifaceted challenges and opportunities.
