iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Showing that search engines may inf act become the end point of information searches. Yet, people seem still more critical of AI overviews than more classic snippets. #ica2025

How do AI overviews change how people search for and trust in news? Edina Strikovic presents our study with @aurman21.bsky.social and @mariekevhoof.bsky.social on Differences in Information Seeking Behavior Between Forms of Recommended and Generated Search Results #ica2025

Also, we find that while the public currently rather overestimates the use of AI in journalism, trust in journalists‘ responsible use of these technologies is rather low… #ica3025

Finally, Eliza Mitova presents our study with Edina Strikovic, @aurman21.bsky.social, @claesdevreese.bsky.social, @esserfrank.bsky.social and Anikó Hannak exploring public attitudes toward generative AI for news, showing that AI knowledge and attitudes vary quite a bit across countries. #ica2025

A representative survey presented by @dnvglr.bsky.social shows that the Swiss audience is rather critical towards the use of AI in journalism, but - similar to findings by @reutersinstitute.bsky.social - this is moderated by general attitudes towards AI. #ica2025

Next up: @cporlezza.bsky.social presenting a study with @lauraamigo.bsky.social on how AI might change journalistic authority, emphasizing the importance of establishing common standards to avoid the „headless chicken syndrome“. #ica2025

Weili Wang, Xi‘an Jaotong & John Downey present an international comparison of utopian and dystopian media narratives around generative AI, showing that these narratives very much depend on the context, being much more positive in China and India as compref to the UK and USA. #ica2025 #journalism

Also, AI may lead to an erosion of values: People who use AI believe public values to be less important than thos who do not use AI (or use it less). #SGKM2025

But what values? Women have other values than men, older people have other values than younger ones… #SGKM2025 @sgkm2025.bsky.social

In her keynote, @natalihelberger.bsky.social emphasizes that AI is not an end in itself but a tool that should be designed in a way that it promotes the values of our democratic societies. #SGKM2025 @sgkm2025.bsky.social

I also asked my students (n=15) the same questions this week and had very similarly high rates of correct answers. ☺️

The tech industry titans have been remarkably silent on Trump's latest withdrawal from the Paris agreement. Eight years ago, they were outspoken. What changed?

There are three categories of Trump transgressions. The first are bad things he does, which must be highlighted in all their harms to voters. The second is bad things he says, which while harmful to the culture we are better ignoring. But the third, here, are bad things he proposes. 1/n

We're trying to see if there's a regional aspect to this, so if you've got instagram and want to help out, could you check these hashtags, and report back the result along with which country you're in? #bluewave #democrat #voteblue #dnc #January6 #jan6 #j6ers #capitolattack #obama #biden #pelosi

Is anyone crowdsourcing 1) which search terms/content this is affecting and 2) which countries this is occurring in? Is this happening on all #Meta platforms?

What a terrifying world to wake up to… But no one can say that Trump and his team haven’t told (and shown) us exactly who they are and what they will do.

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.

Falls ihr euch fragt, ob Watson bereits etwas daraus gelernt hat; das ist ihre akutelle Frontseite 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Habt ihr andere Tipps oder Meinungen dazu?

100

📍(Rechst-)Extremismus, Autoritarismus, Rassismus nicht als Populismus verharmlosen.

110

📍Problematische Aussagen möglichst nicht im O-Ton widergeben und schon gar nicht im Titel oder Lead. 📍Falsche oder problematische Aussagen immer sofort richtigstellen (und nicht erst am Ende des Artikels) und einordnen. 📍Problematische Begriffe nicht übernehmen und weiterverwenden.

100

📍Nicht jede provokative Aussage muss berichtet werden: Was ist wirklich relevant und was ist bloss “Lärm” oder gewinnt erst durch die Medien an Relevanz? 📍Mehr auf die Handlungen fokussieren und weniger auf die Aussagen von Trump und seinem Team.
