Martin Hilbert (born in 1977) is a social scientist who is a professor at the University of California where he chairs the campus-wide emphasis on Computational Social Science.[3] He studies societal digitalization. His work is recognized in academia for the first study that assessed how much information there is in the world;[4] in public policy for having designed the first digital action plan with the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean at the United Nations (eLAC Action Plans); and in the popular media for having alerted about the intervention of Cambridge Analytica a year before the scandal broke.[5]
