Invited Talk 3: Big Data for Big Challenges: Using Social Media Advertising Data to Advance the SDGs Dr. Ingmar Weber In 2015, in a rare global consensus, all 193 UN member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. This agenda is organized around 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ranging from No Poverty, to Gender Equality, and Justice and Strong Institutions. But goals are meaningless without a way to track their progress and to identify areas most in need of help. In this talk, I will present joint work with different UN agencies and academic collaborators on using social media advertising data to monitor international development, and humanitarian crises. In a nutshell, Facebook and other advertising platforms provide so-called “audience estimates” on how many of their users match certain targeting criteria, such as being located in a particular area, being of a particular age and gender, and having a particular device type. The answers to these count oracle questions are provided free of charge, effectively creating a digital census over almost 3 billion users on Facebook’s network. This digital census can be used to map poverty, track digital gender gaps, or to monitor migration, including during the current Ukraine crisis. I will describe some of these use cases, and will discuss challenges related to using noisy big data. |
