Comparative Analysis of Digital Consciousness and Human Consciousness: Bridging the Divide in AI Discourse
Author: Lathabhavan, Remya
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
In today's digital age, the rapid advancement of AI and digital technologies has led to the emergence of digital consciousness, blurring the lines between human and machine thinking. At the same time, these technologies offer unprecedented convenience and efficiency but pose significant challenges. Individuals are increasingly facing issues such as stress, anxiety, and technology addiction, impacting their overall well-being and decision-making processes. The dichotomy between digital consciousness and human consciousness raises critical questions about how we can navigate these challenges in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. To address these pressing concerns, Comparative Analysis of Digital Consciousness and Human Consciousness: Bridging the Divide in AI Discourse offers a comprehensive exploration of the impacts of digital consciousness on human well-being and decision-making. This book delves into the paradoxes and challenges posed by the coexistence of digital and human consciousness, providing insights from psychological perspectives, practitioner experiences, and academic research. By offering a nuanced understanding of these concepts, we aim to equip readers with the knowledge and tools needed to manage the implications of digital consciousness in their personal and professional lives.

Manufacturing Dissent
Author: Cornelia Ilie
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company
ISBN: 9027248591
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Spotlighting case studies of manipulation practices at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis in different countries and socio-political circumstances, the authors expose context-specific discourse and argumentation strategies of 'infodemics’ (misleading information and fake news), public policy mismanagement, deceptive online and offline communication tactics, and conspiracy narratives, which end up disrupting community social cohesion. In addition to targeting manipulation-driven dissent across discourse genres through corpus-based investigations, a major strength of this volume consists in debunking manipulation while foregrounding compelling acts of counter-manipulation. The volume’s breadth of topics, depth of analytical insights and range of methodological frameworks provide unique perspectives by capturing crisis-related manipulations across a worldwide political and cultural spectrum (Austria, Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States), with a focus on the scale and extent of multifaceted repercussions. Reaching beyond the boundaries of pragmatics and discourse analysis, this book should be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners of rhetoric, argumentation, media studies, social and political sciences.

Youth Digital Health and Online Platforms
Author: Martyna Gliniecka
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040296653
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Youth Digital Health and Online Platforms focuses on young people’s use of the digital platform Reddit for health. Drawing upon dialogism theory, the book explores how young people produce a youth-led discourse of youth digital health, different from the adult-led framing represented in youth digital health research, policy, and service delivery. Peer-led discussions online remain one of the controversial forms of youth digital health, associated with negative peer influence or casual ‘teenage talk’. This book argues that online peer-led dialogues support young people’s agency in health and that young people can benefit from dealing with health issues with peers. The work is based on the digital ethnography of teenagers’ subreddits on Reddit and utilises a theoretical framework of dialogism, a linguistic-based theory originated by an early 20th-century Russian philosopher, Mikhail Bakhtin. The book introduces the concept of dialogical youth-led youth digital health discourse formed in the peer-led space of Reddit. This youth-led discourse celebrates equality and diversity amongst people, meanings, and opinions. It is constructed around three relational elements: socio-material affordances, creative practices, and a plurality of youth voices. Reddit’s pseudonymous, anti-authoritarian, and egalitarian nature supports the emergence of this youth-led discourse. The book can interest scholars and lecturers in childhood and youth studies, Internet studies, and youth health studies. Professionals such as policymakers, service designers/deliverers, online safety educators, and global youth and health agencies can use evidence-based insights in their work with young people.
