It took us only 5 days to sell out the 30 seats of the Big Data and Society workshop the RTBF will host on 12 and 13 December in Brussels.
The demand was actually so high that we decided to almost double the capacity of the event. More than 50 participants from 16 countries will attend. Despite this increase we unfortunately had to refuse participants who were on the waiting list.

The US Presidential elections shed light on how algorithms could be polarizing opinions. This phenomenon, the reality of which is still debated, is called "filter bubbles". Not only will we deal on 12 and 13 December with the latter, but also with the negative side effects of recommendation systems and more generally with the role of technology in our society: how we may be giving up our freedom to artificial intelligence, and how ethical aspects need to be taken into consideration when conceiving algorithms.
We've assembled a range of amazing experts who will share their knowledge with us. Their presentations will pave the way for fruitful reflections during the creativity workshop that will take place on 13 December.
I look very much forward to welcoming you at RTBF in December.
All the best, Pierre-Nicolas Schwab, RTBF Big Data / CRM Manager
