Lady and the Tramp social media: uncovering online inequalities with AI

Social media is more than just a digital playground - it mirrors and even amplifies real-world inequalities. Platforms like Nextdoor, Foursquare, and Yelp don’t just connect people; they reveal deep-seated societal patterns. But how much can social media data really tell us about economic disparities? 

While past research has examined how income shapes real-world choices, we’re flipping the script: do wealth disparities shape the way people interact online? 

With cutting-edge machine learning and AI, we can analyse online discourse to uncover hidden social and economic divides. Far from being neutral spaces, digital platforms are intertwined with real-world inequalities - our interactions, engagement, and even language choices reflect deeper societal structures. 

Join us as we explore the fascinating intersection of AI, social media, and economic disparity and how online behaviour can predict socio-economic realities.
