Carlo Kopp

Carlo Kopp is a part time Computer Science Lecturer at the Monash University Faculty of Information Technology, Clayton .His primary research activities at Monash are currently in the areas of modelling deceptions in social and biological systems, perceptual and decision modelling, especially using information theory, and cognitive cycle modelling.He has previously conducted research in operating systems, ad hoc networks and radio-frequency propagation, radar signature computational modelling, optical communications, and satellite navigation support protocols. His PhD project involved the adaptation of AESA radars for long range digital communications, and modelling associated tropospheric propagation problems for airborne platforms.Dr Kopp has also over two decades of research experience in strategy, including appointments as an Adjunct Research Fellow at Monash Asia Institute (2005-2010) and previously as a Visiting Research Fellow at ADFA@UNSW (2004).Dr Kopp has extensive industry experience as a designer, developer and integrator of: hard real-time embedded software

Victims of this Pandemic often exist in “alternate [cognitive] realities”. In many ways the Pandemic emulates historical patterns seen with Gutenberg’s printing press, but many orders of magnitude faster. Most of the underlying mechanisms are well understood, some less so. Overcoming the Deception Pandemic will not be easy due to the “information economy”, where deceptive content is too frequently very profitable, wilful behaviour by victims of deception, who often prefer fantasy to fact, and the popularity of many of these deceptions in politics makes them difficult to defeat. This seminar surveys established approaches and details information theoretic modelling approaches for deception with potential applications in AI, ML and cybersecurity.

This is an important case study – changing means of mass distribution of information were first exploited for political and social purposes, reflecting the cultural foci of that period. The use of digital media for the mass distribution of political and commercial propaganda, “fake news”, “clickbait” and every other form of dis/mis-information follows much the same pattern today, but with contemporary cultural foci. The pressnetation surveys the contemporary pandemic of deceptions in digital media.

The fake news deluge we now see regarding the coronavirus fits any reasonable definition of a pandemic, and if enough fake news consumers act upon these false beliefs, it has the potential to be just as lethal, as the recent example of chloroquine shows.
