DECA: Democratic epistemic capacities in the age of algorithms

Maarit Koponen, Mary Nurminen, Nina Havumetsä, Juha Lång


Abstract
The DECA project consortium investigates epistemic capacities, defined as an individual’s access to reliable knowledge, their ability to participate in knowledge production, and society’s capacity to make informed, sustainable policy decisions. In this paper, we focus specifically on the parts of the project examining the challenges posed by multilinguality in these processes and the potential role of MT in supporting access to, and production of, knowledge.
