Description

The event will explore the impact of bias and hate speech in extended reality (XR) platforms and discuss ways of prevention.

This presentation will explore the impact of bias and hate speech on social harmony in extended reality (XR) platforms. Drawing on research from psychology, ethics and linguistics we will discuss the language and practices that contribute to bias and hate speech and how they affect individuals and communities. Having examined the ways in which bias and hate speech are propagated in XR spaces, we will then begin to explore a number of ways in which they could be prevented or mitigated.
