We invite submissions for the 2025 online conference on "Artificial Intelligence: Technological, Social, and Cultural Ties," which will be held in joint organization between the University of Tras-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD-Portugal) and the Üsküdar University (Turkey). In an era of unprecedented digital transformation, this multidisciplinary event will explore the entangled relationships between artificial intelligence, technology, society, and culture.

We invite scholars from diverse fields, including media studies, communication, sociology, cultural studies, computer science, and other relevant fields, to submit abstracts that address these questions, discuss the current and future ramifications of AI, and promote critical awareness. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• AI's cultural impact on communication;
• The ethical challenges of AI in a multicultural world;
• AI and the transformation of social structures and relationships;
• The role of big data in shaping cultural narratives;
• AI, identity politics, and digital inequalities.

Full papers will be considered for publication in the Etkileşim Journal (DOAJ, EBSCO, and TR Dizin), published by Üsküdar University, Faculty of Communication. All papers will be subjected to a peer review process, and only accepted papers will be included in the journal. For more information, please visit: https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/usuifade
