HMC SPECIAL ISSUE ON "MEDIATIZATION AND HUMAN-MACHINE COMMUNICATION"




Communicative AI is currently associated with one of the most drastic changes in social communication. Against the background of such transformation processes, research on mediatization and on human-machine communication raises a variety of new connections and intersections. The Special Issue examines what research on communicative AI at the interface of mediatization research and HMC can look like.
