Postdoctoral fellow: Citizens, AI and news experiences

The IMAGINE project explores how people in Norway perceive artificial intelligence (AI), and analyses changes in trust and understandings, at a time when AI becomes integrated into everyday media experiences. The goal of the project is to develop new conceptualizations of what AI means to people, grounded in everyday life, and to assess democratic implications of emergent media technologies. 

The postdoc will design and conduct a qualitative case study of citizen responses to AI in news media in Norway. Relevant research questions concern experiences with or attitudes towards different uses of AI in the media, implications for trust and authenticity, perceptions of AI and algorithms in digital information environments, news and technology in everyday life, differences in attitudes to AI between journalists and audiences, or experiences and understandings amongst different groups of citizens.
