[Commlist] 2025 Media Ecology Association Convention: From Natural Selection to Artificial Intelligence: Balancing Opportunities, Ethics, and Challenges

2025 Media Ecology Association Convention: From Natural Selection to 
Artificial Intelligence: Balancing Opportunities, Ethics, and 
Challenges (June 5 to 8, 2025, Universidad Panamericana, México City).

The Media Ecology Association invites scholars, practitioners, and 
students to submit papers and panels for our 26th annual 
convention. This year's theme focuses on the rapid developments in AI 
media, exploring the balance between its possibilities, the ethical 
considerations it necessitates, and the challenges it poses.

The advent of artificial intelligence has catalyzed a transformation 
within the media landscape that is as profound as it is complex. The 
Media Ecology Association, a hub for multidisciplinary dialogue, invites 
thought leaders, scholars, and practitioners to examine this paradigm 
shift at the 26th annual convention centered on "The AI Media 
Revolution: Balancing Opportunities, Ethics, and Challenges." As we 
stand on the precipice of an era where AI augments and automates content 
creation, distribution, and consumption processes, the implications for 
society are vast and multifaceted. The convention seeks to unpack the 
myriad ways in which AI technologies intersect with the media 
ecology—the dynamic interplay between media environments and human 
experience.
Opportunities abound as AI opens new avenues for creativity, 
personalization, and efficiency. The media ecosystem has the potential 
to become more adaptive and responsive, providing unparalleled levels of 
engagement and new forms of expression. Yet, with these opportunities 
come significant ethical considerations and challenges. Issues of bias, 
privacy, and the digital divide loom large, demanding critical 
examination and proactive solutions. The Media Ecology Association calls 
upon the community to bring forth robust discourse and research that 
highlight the innovations propelled by AI in media and critically 
address the moral and societal questions they pose. Through panels, 
papers, and conversations, we aim to explore the balance between 
harnessing the potential of AI and safeguarding the foundational 
principles of equity, transparency, and human-centric media.

In essence, this convention is a clarion call for a collaborative effort 
to steer the AI media revolution toward a future that benefits all 
sectors of society while upholding the core values that underpin the 
media ecology discipline.
