Media in the Digital Age, The Alan Turing Institute
ActiveDescription
Media in the Digital Age, which runs under its own Digital Media SIG identity, is a national interest group hosted by The Alan Turing Institute and working at the intersection of media and data science. It brings together academics studying different aspects of media with practitioners such as journalists, fact-checkers and platform representatives to examine the contemporary information environment, in which digital communication lets information spread almost instantly with little regulation. Its themes include misinformation and disinformation, computational journalism, content moderation, the detection of synthetic media, and the growing role of artificial intelligence and large language models in the mediasphere. The group pursues interdisciplinary research, close collaboration with practitioners and real-world impact, running workshops on tightly defined media themes alongside a monthly seminar series currently titled Media in the AI Era.
