Collection: Informatics and Emerging Excellence in Education=0A=0A=3D=3D=
Handbook Aims:=0A=0AWhile human beings continue to lose their intellectu=
al capacities, ranging from concentration and reading to performing menta=
l arithmetic, corruption gallops unchecked in the field of education and =
new technologies. These corrupt, Machiavellian, narcissistic, and psychop=
athic riders gallop along, waving the illusory banners of ethics, interna=
tional law, gender equality, social progress, educational excellence, tec=
hnological innovation, and so on. All of this serves to foster the declin=
e of intellectual capacities, the fragmentation of human knowledge, and t=
he increase of global authoritarianism through the digital and interactiv=
e audio-visual communication of podcasts, for instance.=0A=0AToday, natur=
al and acquired skills, amplified by the press, radio, cinema, television=
and multimedia off-line and online, belong to past generations =E2=80=93=
Baby boomers, X and Y=E2=80=93, especially reading and writing. The new g=
lobal alienating and destructive objective is oral communication, through=
digital audio and, more specifically, podcasts. Generating abbreviated a=
nd confused educational content through podcasting has not only reduced t=
eachers' workload in taking notes and preparing lessons, but has also exe=
rted a powerful manipulative or brainwashing influence on students, both =
inside and outside the classroom, by transmitting subliminal messages, de=
lusional ideas of power, delirious rambles, and so forth.=0A=0AMany of th=
ese podcasts have fostered cruelty subconscious, urban violence, workplac=
e inbreeding, corruption of human capital, Machiavellian narcissism, fake=
news, negative emotions (e.g., envy, jealousy, anger, racism, frustratio=
n, stress, etc.), and other ills of modern societies, as can be seen in m=
illions of pieces of content on social media. As is well known, the power=
of radio and the verticality of the broadcaster in alienating the masses=
were widely and tragically demonstrated during the two World Wars of the=
20th century.=0A=0AHence the importance of investigating the use of this=
tool, from content generation (inclusion of subliminal messages, reliabl=
e translations, promotion of social fragmentation, transparency of servic=
es provided, realistic statistics about the users / subscribers / audienc=
e / content creators, and so on) to the psychological profile of the mana=
gers of podcast-oriented platforms, whether or not they are applying arti=
ficial intelligence in these audio-visual platforms and services.=0A=0ACo=
ntrary to what one might initially think, the basic objective of this edi=
torial project is to enhance the positive aspects of technological and in=
teractive communication in the face of the advancement of artificial inte=
lligence. In short, to highlight the manipulative, persuasive, Machiavell=
ian, narcissistic, and psychopathic strategies of a human capital that ha=
s been corruptly trained and that today is connected to new technologies =
and the services derived from them, since artificial intelligence should =
be at the service of humankind, but not vice versa.=0A=0A=0A=3D=3D Handbo=
