*From Platform Governance to Generative AI:Concepts, Methods, and Data for Studying Tech Governance*
We’re thrilled to announce that submissions are open for our next AoIR Flashpoint Symposium, to be hosted by the Lab Platform Governance, Media, and Technology (PGMT), at the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI), University of Bremen to be held on 3-4 June 2025!
The study of platform governance and generative AI has become increasingly critical as these technologies significantly (re)shape public discourse, societal norms, and policy-making processes. By determining how information is created, shared, and consumed, these technological systems raise complex questions of accountability, fairness, transparency, contestability, and ethics. After 20 years of social media these challenges remain topical, and both current political developments as well as the advent of generative AI will exacerbate rather than relieve those challenges. The AoIR Flashpoint Symposium 2025 in Bremen aims to contribute to these urgent discussions on governance and normative questions.
Submissions for research papers or policy/position papers, or for pre-curated panels, will take the form of 400-600 word abstracts. *The submission deadline is 15 February 2025.*
The complete Call for Papers, more information on the symposium and the link for submissions are available here: https://platform-governance.org/aoir-flashpoint-symposium-2025/
Inquiries can be sent to aoir2025@uni-bremen.de.
The Symposium organisers are Prof. Dr. Christian Katzenbach, Dr. Daria Dergacheva, and Dr. Dennis Redeker. _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
