My latest book is now out (in the UK - Americans/e-book readers will need to wait until November)! 🎉

_Digital Storytelling: An Introduction_ is my effort to historicise and expand the field. I'd love to chat with y'all about it.

In this new #OnlineFirst article, Payal Arora & @simone_natale argue that global #AI debates must move beyond abstract ethics. By situating AI in everyday cultural contexts, they spotlight how global-local dynamics shape our interactions with tech.

n this new #OnlineFirst article, @simone_natale et al. apply Doreen Massey’s concept of power geometries to #AI—highlighting how agency, inequality & global-local relations shape AI’s development and governance. https://t.co/c65SbGflXN

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...

How can we make sense of the thin lines between deception and authenticity when communication is increasingly automated and it is hard to distinguish between messages created by AI and those made by humans?

You can still meet someone in academia who has never heard of ChatGPT

Last week, I published an article featuring a section on discourses around #AI in @JournalCommSoc (https://t.co/pZ0c8bHzPh). For more insights, check out this piece by @PaoloBory, @simone_natale, and @ckatzenbach: "Strong and Weak AI Narratives" https://t.co/7POW3Hwzvz.

@JenniferACooke Congratulations, Jennifer :)

[Simone Natale @simone_natale]

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?

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

[Paolo Bory @PaoloBory]

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.

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

[Simone Natale @simone_natale]

@doctorsorce I pushed back and after two attempts they accepted to include it @routledgebooks what are you doing?

[Simone Natale @simone_natale]

The publisher of a book I'm co-editing (@routledgebooks) just asked me not to mention a monograph in my bio because it's from another publisher 🤔

[Simone Natale @simone_natale]

@emilstjernholm Thank you for reading!
