Algorithmic Mediation of Communication
2015 - 2023
Human–machine communication is foregrounded as a core analytic frame, prompting reevaluation of communication theory to encompass AI-mediated interactions, intelligent agents, and evolving human–computer boundaries in everyday media and organizational contexts. Algorithmic imaginaries and decoding recast algorithms as co-constructed cultural objects shaping media use, journalism, and education rather than mere technical artifacts. Studies of algorithmic visibility and media labor explore how creators, influencers, and news workers navigate attention, metrics, and the political economy of automation within platform ecosystems, while computational social systems and digital societies broaden inquiry into metaverse infrastructures, digital twins, CPS, and community-oriented science communication to illuminate socio-technical publics and engagement.
• Human–machine communication is foregrounded as a core analytic frame, inviting rethinking of communication theory to include AI-mediated interactions, intelligent agents, and ontological boundaries between humans and computers in everyday media and organizational contexts.

• Algorithmic imaginaries, decoding, and cultural understandings of algorithms are treated as co-constructed objects in everyday media use, journalism, and education rather than mere technical artifacts. [1] [8] [4] [10] [9]
• Algorithmic visibility and media labor examine how creators, influencers, and news workers negotiate attention, visibility metrics, and the political economy of automation in platform ecosystems. [5] [7] [16]
• Computational social systems and digital societies frame research across metaverse, digital twins, CPS, and community-oriented science communication to understand socio-technical infrastructures and public engagement. [19] [11] [13] [20] [17]
