Center for Informed Democracy & Social – cybersecurity (IDeaS)

  • The overarching goal of the IDeaS Center at Carnegie Mellon University is to enhance social cyber-security to preserve and support and informed democratic society. The challenge today is that disinformation, hate speech, information warfare, and propaganda are amplified by cyber-technology like social media.

  • The science and engineering to build the cyber-infrastructure needed for society to persist in its essential character in a cyber-mediated information environment under changing conditions, actual or imminent social cyber-threats
