AI is reshaping journalism - but what does that mean for democracy? In a new #WJDS essay, Weizenbaum director Christoph Neuberger examines AI’s role in producing reliable knowledge and shaping public opinion. AI can support truth-seeking, but its lack of transparency limits collective scrutiny. The essay also explores risks and opportunities for democratic deliberation. ➡️ https://doi.org/10.34669/wi.wjds/6.2.6 #AI #Journalism #Democracy #Media #SocialScience #OpenAccess #research @freieuniversitaet@berlin.social

Population increases in third world countries like in India, Africa, can be observed through poverty. The only entertainment available is to have kids. That's life for the poor. If you have money, well you can take a trip to Bangkok and bang away. Why do you think AIDS flourishes in some countries. Why is it that after acknowledging transgenders, the west is introducing new laws over agencies... #socialscience

Religions were the first forms of governments. Let that sink in. Many countries and their laws are still affected by religious beliefs. Many wars are still initiated in names of religions. What is religion, other than a form of mass influence extortion, in the name of abstract and misinterpreted human values ? What is religion other than an excuse to extort political actions in the name of "God", to people who don't know better ? Primary value of majority of religions in the world is love. How possibly could we let media, governments and movements, distort it to the point where we use it as an excuse to kill, destroy, abuse and take away freedom ? #religion #socialscience #anthropology #freedom
