The Mediated Society (MEDIS:ON) project responds in its content and goals to the dramatic development of technologies that have become part of the everyday life of modern society. MEDIS:ON focuses on exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on society and sees AI as both a tool to expand human capabilities and a challenge related to the widening digital divide, the proliferation of conspiracies and deepfakes, and the lack of AI literacy. The primary goal of the MEDIS:ON project is to advance and deepen the understanding of processes related to the process of working with information at the individual, social and societal level through the perspective of selected social sciences and humanities disciplines (psychology, political science, theology, pedagogy) and in close collaboration with computer sciences.
