Connective AI: Social (Ro)Bots, Play, Democracy
Editat de Zizi Papacharissien Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2026
This innovative collection puts play at the center of how we think about AI and democracy, exploring how playful participation may be used to help restore the creative energies of democracy. Featuring contributions by seasoned experts, the chapters explore topics such as: social robots, play, and democracy; polymorphic chatbots and online interactions; AI curation by bot-supported agents and participatory environments; social robots, journalism, and connective action; civility and AI; collaboration between human and robotic agents in democratic spaces; democratic experiments, generative AI, and polymorphic robots; gaming, play, and democratic engagement between humans and non-humans; and AI, play and democracy. The book presents new ideas for how connective AI and social robots could be used to help reimagine and improve our everyday; specifically, how playful interaction with robotic agents could help revive civic engagement, thus ushering in a new paradigm for connective AI.
This book will be of interest to upper-level students, researchers and scholars across a variety of fields including media and communication studies, science and technology studies, and political science, particularly those exploring AI and human-computer interaction in relation to democracy and civic life.

Recenzii
"Can artificial intelligence serve democracy or only disrupt it? Moving beyond Silicon Valley's standard narratives, this volume proposes connective AI: technology designed with democratic values at its core rather than as afterthought. This stellar group of scholars explore alternative approaches to human-machine relations grounded in imagination, play, and collective renewal."
