New research from ADM+S researcher T.J. Thomson (RMIT University) and collaborator Aimee Hourigan (Western Sydney University) shows demand for media literacy support amidst rise of #misinformation online. Drawing on findings from their recent report ‘Online Misinformation in Australia’ (co-authored with Sora Park, Tanya Notley and Michael Dezuanni), this research reveals everyday sources of misinformation in Australia, common topics and how those claims are communicated, as well as providing suggestions on how to best respond.

And here it is 🙌 The first publication of my ongoing PhD research: Emerging paradigms in music technology: valuing mistakes, glitches and uncertainty in the age of generative AI and automation. In this article, I present ethnographic findings on how music technologists in Melbourne creatively respond to the uncertainties introduced by AI and automation. One key aspect is how mistakes, technical glitches and accidents are valued within the creative process. As my participants argue, this could hardly be captured by the current state of LLMs. Special thanks to my supervisory team –Sarah Pink, Debora Lanzeni and Aneta Podkalicka– for their time and feedback on my initial drafts. This article is part of an upcoming special issue on "The Impact of Generative AI on Human Creativity" in AI & Society. https://lnkd.in/gSyjaYHM Emerging Technologies Research Lab, Monash University Monash Information Technology, ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society

Researcher Spotlight 💡 ADM+S PhD Student Jiaru Tang from QUT Digital Media Research Centre is researching cultural production in the age of #AI. Using the Chinese artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) market as a starting point for theory-building, this project seeks to deepen the understanding of the impact of AI in the transforming cultural industry. Jiaru is interested in how AIGC is shifting power dynamics in the creator economy, and the impact of this shift on our values around #diversity, creativity, and #authenticity. 🔗 Read ‘Side job, self-employed, high-paid’: behind the AI slop flooding TikTok and Facebook on The Conversation Australia + NZ: https://lnkd.in/gNZJ5Uz2 📍 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRYJR5tM
