Using Behavioural Science to Promote Information Integrity 

UN Entities are employing behaviourally-informed approaches to promote information integrity across their areas of operation.
In this session, DPO spoke about using data science to identify inauthentic behavioural patterns in digital media data, such as signatures of malicious actors spreading harmful narratives. UNDP shared their “Together We Talk” toolkit, and how it helps to identify and counter the spread of harmful speech in digital spaces through a BeSci approach. UNHCR presented a response to online harms, including insights from ‘prebunking’ interventions to disinformation campaigns in a volatile humanitarian context.
