About this book

This book serves as a guide to understanding the dynamics of AI in human contexts with a specific focus on the generation, sharing, and consumption of misinformation online. How do humans and AI interact? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? What are the interaction mechanisms that govern how humans and algorithms contribute to misinformation online? And how do we bridge the gap between ethical considerations and practical realities to make responsible, reliable systems? Exploring these questions, the book empowers humans to make AI design choices that allow them meaningful control over AI and the online sphere. Calling for an interdisciplinary approach toward human-misinformation algorithmic interaction that focuses on building methods and tools that robustly deal with complex psychological/social phenomena, the book offers a compelling insight into the future of AI-based society.

Reviews

“This book discusses how misinformation is wielded to manipulate the public and deny facts and truth, why humans are susceptible to fake news, and how the spread of misinformation can be controlled using technologies such as AI. This interdisciplinary discussion suggests how people can be better supported to combat misinformation through human judgment and AI.”

—Mohammed Ibahrine, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA

 “This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to contribute to the ongoing development of human–misinformation interaction, with a particular focus on the “human” dimension, and provides insights to improve the design of AI that could be genuinely beneficial and effectively used in society.”

—Frank Biocca, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey, USA

 “Bringing the psychology of misinformation to AI, the book is the definitive guide to navigating the misinformation age. This book tellsus that we are all vulnerable to believing misinformation.

Informed by years of research, the book provides insightful analytics on the misinformation dynamics that lie at the intersection of human minds and the double-edged sword of AI.”

—John Pavlik, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ, USA
