In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionised many 
areas, including communication and the media. From recommendation 
algorithms to automated content creation systems, AI is transforming the 
way we consume and produce information. These advances require a 
reassessment of media and information literacy competencies, which must 
also encompass access, critical understanding of and conscious 
interaction with AI-based technologies.

Indeed, media and information literacy becomes even more fundamental in 
a world where AI is omnipresent. Media and information literacy 
competencies encompass not only the ability to consume and understand 
information, but also to think critically and produce content 
responsibly and safely. AI offers numerous opportunities for society, 
including verifying content and analysing large volumes of data, 
developing new educational tools, and supporting content creation and 
curation. However, it also presents significant challenges such as the 
spread and amplification of disinformation, filter bubbles and echo 
chambers, ethical issues related to privacy and data security, and 
technological dependency. This highlights the urgent need for citizens 
to be better prepared and equipped to live/survive in this new 
multimedia reality, making the most of their opportunities and acting 
safely and ethically.

This thematic section of/Revista Comunicando/, entitled "Media and 
Information Literacy Competences in Response to Advances in AI", aims to 
explore how AI is contributing to the redefinition of media and 
information literacy competencies and how citizens, educators and 
professionals can prepare for these changes. This section is open to 
articles that offer theoretical analyses, case studies, innovative 
methodologies and practical experiences related to the topic. It is also 
open to interviews, reviews and experience reports.

Topics of interest for this section include, but are not limited to:

  * Impact of AI on media and information literacy: how AI technologies
    are changing media and information literacy competencies
  * Education and training: strategies and methodologies for teaching
    media and information literacy skills in an AI-driven world
  * Critical analysis of information: tools and approaches for analysing
    and evaluating information generated by AI systems
  * Ethics and AI in the media: ethical considerations on the use of AI
    in the creation and dissemination of media content
  * Technologies and mergers: case studies on new AI technologies and
    their impact on communication and the media
  * AI and disinformation: the role of AI in spreading disinformation
    and how to fight it
  * Human-AI interaction: users' experiences and perceptions when
    interacting with AI systems in media contexts
  * Digital inclusion and exclusion: how different groups in society
    (including the most vulnerable) benefit or are harmed by AI
    technologies

The works in the thematic section will be published between January and 
June 2025, in a continuous edition.

All papers are subject to a double-blind peer review process. There are 
no associated publication fees (article processing fees or APCs).
