About This Event
Information is crucial to informed decision-making, but it is also possible to sift through copious volumes of unfiltered information to find evidence that appears to affirm prejudices. In his new book, Infotopia: How Many Minds Produce Knowledge, Professor Cass Sunstein presents an optimistic account of the human potential to aggregate information without resorting to prejudice and preconceptions.
