Abstract

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has changed the landscape of media industries, including entertainment and communication. This exploratory research aims to examine two main dimensions of media literacy—access to information and action—from the perspective of human–machine communication (HMC). This research indicates that audiences must understand the context of fake news and operation of search engines, and be reflective of automated journalism. In addition, audiences need to actively dialogue with AI and make it “visible.” This research provides some example of the practice of socialbots, algorithms, and data activism.
