About the Article Collection
Cogent Social Sciences invites submissions for its Open Access Article Collection on "AI-Mediated Persuasion and Audience Control in Strategic Communication."
This Article Collection explores how artificial intelligence is transforming advertising and strategic communication through algorithmic targeting, generative AI, virtual influencers, and large language models. As AI increasingly shapes what audiences see, how messages are framed, and when they are delivered, the collection seeks research that examines audience agency, transparency, ethical communication, and regulatory responses in AI-driven media environments.
The editors welcome theoretical, empirical, computational, and policy-oriented research that advances understanding of AI-mediated persuasion while informing ethical practice, public policy, and strategic communication.
