=3D=3D Handbook Aims:=0A=0AWhile human beings continue to lose their inte=
llectual capacities, ranging from concentration and reading to performing=
 mental arithmetic, corruption gallops unchecked in the field of educatio=
n and new technologies. These corrupt, Machiavellian, narcissistic, and p=
sychopathic riders gallop along, waving the illusory banners of ethics, i=
nternational law, gender equality, social progress, educational excellenc=
e, technological innovation, and so on. All of this serves to foster the =
decline of intellectual capacities, the fragmentation of human knowledge,=
 and the increase of global authoritarianism through the digital and inte=
ractive audio-visual communication of podcasts, for instance.=0A=0AToday,=
 natural and acquired skills, amplified by the press, radio, cinema, tele=
vision and multimedia off-line and online, belong to past generations =E2=
=80=93Baby boomers, X and Y=E2=80=93, especially reading and writing. The=
 new global alienating and destructive objective is oral communication, t=
hrough digital audio and, more specifically, podcasts. Generating abbrevi=
ated and confused educational content through podcasting has not only red=
uced teachers' workload in taking notes and preparing lessons, but has al=
so exerted a powerful manipulative or brainwashing influence on students,=
 both inside and outside the classroom, by transmitting subliminal messag=
es, delusional ideas of power, delirious rambles, and so forth.=0A=0AMany=
 of these podcasts have fostered cruelty subconscious, urban violence, wo=
rkplace inbreeding, corruption of human capital, Machiavellian narcissism=
, fake news, negative emotions (e.g., envy, jealousy, anger, racism, frus=
tration, stress, etc.), and other ills of modern societies, as can be see=
n in millions 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 o=
f this tool, from content generation (inclusion of subliminal messages, r=
eliable translations, promotion of social fragmentation, transparency of =
services provided, realistic statistics about the users / subscribers / a=
udience / content creators, and so on) to the psychological profile of th=
e managers of podcast-oriented platforms, whether or not they are applyin=
g artificial intelligence in these audio-visual platforms and services.=0A=
=0AContrary to what one might initially think, the basic objective of thi=
s editorial project is to enhance the positive aspects of technological a=
nd interactive communication in the face of the advancement of artificial=
 intelligence. In short, to highlight the manipulative, persuasive, Machi=
avellian, narcissistic, and psychopathic strategies of a human capital th=
at has been corruptly trained and that today is connected to new technolo=
gies and the services derived from them, since artificial intelligence sh=
ould be at the service of humankind, but not vice versa.=0A=0A=0A=3D=3D H=
