International Conference
Shifting Boundaries: AI and Human Interactions Redefining Reality
(SHAI)
06-08 November 2024
Palazzo Du Mesnil, Sala Conferenze
Via Chiatamone 61/62
Napoli, Italy
The conference aims to delve into the profound impact of Artificial Intelligence - including
chatbots, virtual assistants, and advanced technologies associated with machine learning and
deep learning - on human interactions and reality perception. In an era where digital tools have
become integral to communication, our understanding of the relationship between individuals
and intelligent machines has evolved significantly. This conference seeks to explore how the
advent of advanced digital technologies is reshaping our daily interactions, social contexts, and
perception of reality, leading to the construction of alternative yet believable new realities.
The scholarly attention towards digital tools in the realm of communication has a
longstanding history. As early as the late 1990s and early 2000s, academics such as Susan
Herring (1996) and David Crystal (2011) had begun to anticipate the transformative impact of
these technologies on the dynamics of human interactions.
Recent studies have investigated metaverse and augmented reality experiences, particularly
within video games utilizing AI to create immersive environments fraught with bias and
discrimination (Heritage 2021). Furthermore, advancements such as ChatGPT-4 have raised
concerns about the manipulation of public opinion through artificially generated content,
leading to emotionally charged online discussions (Ahmad 2023; Montasari 2024). One
example is the massive diffusion of fake news and deepfakes produced with AI (Mongibello
2023) during presidential campaigns (Vaccari and Chadwick 2020). Despite these challenges,
AI technologies have also proven to be invaluable in fields such as language teaching (Bibauw
et al. 2020) and scientific research, offering new avenues for real-time interactions and data
analysis (Curry et al. 2024; Zappavigna 2023).
Through an interdisciplinary approach, the conference aims to investigate the multifaceted
implications of interactions between artificial intelligence and human users. Special emphasis
will be placed on the linguistic and discursive dimensions of these interactions, exploring the
role of language in mediating between individuals and AI, and addressing issues of bias and
discrimination in AI systems employed in video games, chatbots, virtual assistants etc.
We invite submissions that contribute to the critical debate surrounding the complexities
of the relationship between artificial intelligence, language, and society, to foster a deeper
understanding of the evolving landscape of AI and human interactions. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
• Language, Discourse, and AI Interaction
• Gender and Diversity in AI Applications
• Ethical Considerations and Bias in AI Systems
• AI in Virtual Worlds
• Education and training in the era of AI
• Human-Centred AI Design
• AI in Scientific Research
• AI in Creative Industries and Cultural Production
• Diversity and Inclusion in AI
The conference will be in person only. The language of the conference is English.
