The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Digital Media Content Creation

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on digital media, focusing on content creation, recommendation systems, and user engagement. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, synthesizing existing studies and scholarly articles on the subject. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving in-depth discussions with industry professionals and a survey administered to digital media platform users. The findings revealed that AI has significantly transformed content creation, with AI-generated content being encountered by 78% of users. Most users found the content to be relevant and of good quality; however, concerns about authenticity and biases were raised. AI-driven recommendation systems were prevalent, with 62% of users utilizing them. The majority found the recommended content to be useful and relevant. Trust levels varied, with 48% expressing moderate to high trust. Transparency and explainability were emphasized by 81% of users. The study concludes by providing recommendations for enhancing authenticity, addressing biases, increasing user education, and ensuring ethical considerations in AI applications in digital media. These findings contribute to our understanding of the implications of AI in digital media.
