The Role of AI-Powered Digital Newspapers in Enhancing Civilizational Dialogue and Bridging Perspectives
摘要
This study explores the role of AI-powered digital newspapers in bridging perspectives and enhancing civilizational dialogue, with a specific focus on Iraqi university professors specializing in media. Using a descriptive survey method, the study gathered data from a random sample of 40 professors from the University of Baghdad and the University of Anbar. The research examines how digital newspapers, supported by artificial intelligence tools such as personalized content, sentiment analysis, and real-time translation, contribute to fostering intercultural understanding and facilitating constructive dialogues between diverse cultural perspectives. The findings reveal that digital newspapers are highly preferred by the participants compared to other digital media platforms, mainly due to their speed of access, wide reach, and ease of use. Additionally, the study highlights the significant impact of digital newspapers in providing intellectual and cultural environments that promote acceptance of differing ideas and support dialogue among varying viewpoints. The results underscore the importance of AI in shaping media content that bridges cultural divides, thereby enhancing the role of digital newspapers in civilizational dialogue. The study recommends further research on the public’s perception of civilizational dialogue and the potential of digital media, particularly in the context of AI, to play a more substantial role in global intercultural communication.
