Showing that search engines may inf act become the end point of information searches. Yet, people seem still more critical of AI overviews than more classic snippets. #ica2025

Also, we find that while the public currently rather overestimates the use of AI in journalism, trust in journalists‘ responsible use of these technologies is rather low… #ica3025

Finally, Eliza Mitova presents our study with Edina Strikovic, @aurman21.bsky.social, @claesdevreese.bsky.social, @esserfrank.bsky.social and Anikó Hannak exploring public attitudes toward generative AI for news, showing that AI knowledge and attitudes vary quite a bit across countries. #ica2025

A representative survey presented by @dnvglr.bsky.social shows that the Swiss audience is rather critical towards the use of AI in journalism, but - similar to findings by @reutersinstitute.bsky.social - this is moderated by general attitudes towards AI. #ica2025

Next up: @cporlezza.bsky.social presenting a study with @lauraamigo.bsky.social on how AI might change journalistic authority, emphasizing the importance of establishing common standards to avoid the „headless chicken syndrome“. #ica2025

The study has already been published here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Also, AI may lead to an erosion of values: People who use AI believe public values to be less important than thos who do not use AI (or use it less). #SGKM2025

But what values? Women have other values than men, older people have other values than younger ones… #SGKM2025 @sgkm2025.bsky.social

Don‘t forget to visit the Igloo, where you get a 360 degree experience of Chur! And with nicer weather than outside today. 😉 #SGKM2025

I also asked my students (n=15) the same questions this week and had very similarly high rates of correct answers. ☺️

Same here…
