Who do you trust? The digital destruction of shared situational awareness and the COVID-19 infodemic

作者:

Highlights:

• Centrally managed digital communication and service platforms simultaneously disrupt and destroy what we trust in and value.

• Digital destruction creates dissonant mental models.

• Shared situational awareness for crisis management relies on aligned mental models.

• Dissonant mental models produce conflicting situational awareness and poor crisis management.

• Analytics and artificial intelligence research should focus on identification of trusted information sources for mental model realignment.
