Opening of my book "Deceitful Media: AI and Social Life after the Turing Test" (Oxford University Press 2021). Four years later, it looks less imaginative as science fiction, but fortunately there's still the crime story angle...

Last week, I published an article featuring a section on discourses around #AI in @JournalCommSoc (buff.ly/483IjHy). For more insights, check out this piece by @PaoloBory, @simone_natale, and @ckatzenbach: "Strong and Weak AI Narratives" buff.ly/3U8OK6w.

Has generative AI cracked the Turing Test? But what if this is not the right question to ask at this moment? What if the real message of the Turing Test is not about machines, but about ourselves as humans? Listen to this podcast hosted by @JJFPhD: open.spotify.com/episode/5Oh…
On ♀️@Cyborg_Goddess♀️ S3, E5 @simone_natale joins @JJFPhD to discuss his research into the legacy of the Turing Test & how the test for artificial intelligence has influenced subsequent AI research: cyborggoddess.opened.ca/podc… harbingermedianetwork.com 🔶

So happy to see this out! A freshly-baked contribution to our special issue (@ludovico_rella) on weak and strong AI narratives by @PaoloBory, @simone_natale and @ckatzenbach
Happy to share this new OA paper with the greats @simone_natale and @ckatzenbach on weak & strong AI narratives for AI & Society. We propose a framework to address & normalise narratives around AI, placing #weakAI firmly at the center of public debates. rdcu.be/dWEws

Molto, molto, molto felice che il premio Limina 2024 per la migliore traduzione italiana di un testo sul cinema e sui media sia andato a “Media. Una cassetta degli attrezzi” di Michael Z. Newman, di cui ho curato con @simone_natale l’edizione italiana per @Einaudieditore. :)

I’m not sure if the fast lines for groups with children at airports are meant to help families or to protect other people from us

Always the hardest part. You think you’re done, the wine reception at hand, yet there is this last important bit. The conclusions
