[Commlist] CFP: The Green Algorithm: Sustainable Futures in AI, Media, and Innovation

It is a pleasure to invite IAMCR Colleagues and Members to contribute a 
chapter to our upcoming edited volume, /The Green Algorithm: Sustainable 
Futures in AI, Media, and Innovation/, to be published in 2027 by

*About the Volume*
*
*
As AI systems revolutionise our societal and ecological settings, and 
power continues to concentrate in the hands of "Big Tech", the real 
contradictions accompanying these developments remain pushed to the 
periphery. This volume seeks to bridge that gap by offering a critically 
grounded, interdisciplinary examination of the intersections between 
artificial intelligence, media systems, and sustainability.

We are specifically looking for contributions exploring Global South and 
North dimensions, move beyond techno-optimist narratives, and propose a 
more democratic and sustainable technological frameworks.

*Key Themes and Chapters*
*
*
The volume is organised into themes, including:

  *
    The Ecological Footprint of AI: Energy, resource extraction, and
    e-waste.
  *
    Media, Discourse, and Public Understanding: How technological change
    is framed.
  *
    Innovation Ecosystems and Governance: Big Tech, decentralization,
    and policy.

    well-being.
