Artificial intelligence stands as one of the foremost technological 
challenges of our time. With its considerable benefits in performing 
numerous tasks and processing vast amounts of information, the 
automation enabled by artificial intelligence has been acknowledged as a 
means to enhance productivity, minimise human error, conserve resources, 
and boost operational efficiency. Across sectors such as industry and 
healthcare, artificial intelligence is regarded with optimism, 
representing a promise of innovation that has not gone unnoticed in the 
field of communication.

Despite the excitement and astonishment at the new possibilities 
presented by systems capable of simulating human thought, artificial 
intelligence has also prompted critical reflection, particularly in the 
ethical domain. The extensive impact of "intelligent applications" on 
communication processes calls for a thorough examination of the 
implications of natural language technologies, algorithmisation, data 
processing, and automated content generation on journalism, advertising, 
and creative production. Issues such as copyright, information 
credibility and quality, privacy, and citizen safety demand a conscious 
and responsible approach to the adoption of artificial intelligence 
mechanisms.

While challenging professional practices, automation systems are also 
prompting an essential redefinition of the human role in information 
production. To encourage dialogue on the diverse intersections between 
communication and Artificial Intelligence, this volume of /Comunicação e 
Sociedade/ welcomes manuscript submissions focusing on the following topics:

  * Media and automated content generation;
  * Journalistic routines and the quality of information;
  * Algorithms and personalisation: impacts on media consumption and
    opinion formation;
  * Ethical implications of artificial intelligence technologies
    (copyright, privacy, security) and regulation;
  * Critical analysis of deepfakes, bots, and automation in the digital
    space;
  * Generative artificial intelligence and creativity in communication
    practices (in journalism, advertising, strategic communication, and
    audiovisual production);
  * Immersive experiences and the evolution of human-machine interaction
    in communication.

*Proposals submission (full manuscript): *from November 25, 2024 to 
January 15, 2025
*Publication period: *continuous edition (January to June 2025)
