[Commlist] Call for proposals : Journalism, platforms and AI

CFP : *Journalism and Platforms in the Age of Generative AI Conference*, 
November 26-28, University of Toulouse (France)

Abstract due date : June 1st

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) marks a major turning point 
in the history of journalism and digital platforms. Offering 
unprecedented possibilities for automation, data analysis, content 
creation and distribution, AI is transforming journalistic practices, 
re-examining media business models and the relationship between 
platforms and their users. This technological evolution comes with 
considerable challenges. The growing dependence of media on 
infrastructures controlled by tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, 
Apple, Meta, and Google raises concerns about journalistic autonomy and 
the diversity of information. The growing use of generative AI, while 
promising, raises ethical and practical questions about the reliability 
of information, intellectual property, and the transformation of the 
journalism profession. This conference aims to bring together 
researchers to discuss issues related to the intersection of journalism, 
platforms, and AI. The objective is to critically analyze the 
opportunities and risks associated with this digital transformation, 
explore alternative models, and propose avenues for the future of 
information.

Emerging or exploratory research and theoretical contributions are 
welcome. The conference will be held mainly in French, but proposals in 
English are also welcome.

Topics may include :

*Journalistic Autonomy and Platform Dependence: analyzing the challenges 
posed by media dependence on AI infrastructures and tools developed by 
tech giants.
*Generative AI and Journalistic Ethics: examining the impact of 
generative AI on fundamental principles of journalism, such as 
fact-checking, objectivity, and accountability.
*Transformation of Journalism: exploring changes that AI is bringing 
about in the professional practices of journalists.
*Combating Disinformation and Information Manipulation: analyzing the 
role of AI in battling disinformation and spreading it.
*Governance of AI in the Media: examining the legal, ethical, and 
political frameworks necessary to ensure the responsible development of 
AI in the media sector.
*AI in the Media: analyzing the growing media coverage of AI.
