MAIDEM - The AI Shift in Media and Democracy

Artificial intelligence is creating new forms of media content and making content consumption increasingly personal. It offers traditional media possibilities to reach new audiences and develop new forms of interaction. However, it also challenges journalism’s central role in informing the public and enabling public debate. MAIDEM research asks what AI in the hands of audiences means for media and democracy. The multidisciplinary project combines perspectives from media and communication studies, social sciences, philosophy, technology studies and design. It uses design fiction and artistic research methods to construct and examine visions of the future media environment.

MAIDEM is funded by the Kone Foundation.
