(Mis)trust in the news media’s anthropomorphic framing of artificial intelligence technologies in the (future) world of work: Perceptions of humanities students in South Africa

Susan Iris Brokensha · 2024

The world is at a cross-roads because of industrial change, compounded by a global pandemic. Humanities and social science education is grappling with the meaning of this change, to the effect that there have been some anxieties and misguided perceptions about the irrelevance of the humanities in this emerging new world. With the emergence of new technologies, this book highlights the indespensible centrality of humanity and the humanities going forward. The book will provide a reference point for new and innovative approaches to the humanities in the 4IR in South Africa and Africa. Its diverse content means that it will be of use across the spectrum of humanities and social science.
