Thesis Title
The Intersection of Authenticity and Visibility in AI-Generated YouTube Videos.

Research Description
The research sets out to assess the emerging challenges of maintaining a responsible platform society that fosters authentic collaborations between humans and AI. This focus complements ADM+S Centre’s ongoing investigations into the ethical, legal and social implications of AI technologies in digital content creation. Understanding the complex dynamics of visibility and authenticity trade-offs at the conjecture of emerging Gen AI tools that exaggerate platform users’ potential to create and influence with synthetic media presents the opportunity to evaluate debated public concerns about inclusive platforms. This project is part of a larger project entitled “Generative Authenticity”.
