AB  - The role of social media in information dissemination and agenda-setting has significantly expanded in recent years. By offering real-time interactions, online platforms have become invaluable tools for studying societal responses to significant events as they unfold. However, online reactions to external developments are influenced by various factors, including the nature of the event and the online environment. This study examines the dynamics of public discourse on digital platforms to shed light on this issue. We analyzed over 12 million posts and news articles related to two significant events: the release of ChatGPT in 2022 and the global discussions about COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. Data was collected from multiple platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, and GDELT. We employed topic modeling techniques to uncover the distinct thematic emphases on each platform, which reflect their specific features and target audiences. Additionally, sentiment analysis revealed various public perceptions regarding the topics studied. Lastly, we compared the evolution of engagement across platforms, unveiling unique patterns for the same topic. Notably, discussions about COVID-19 vaccines spread more rapidly due to the immediacy of the subject, while discussions about ChatGPT, despite its technological importance, propagated more gradually.

AB  - This study delves into the task of aligning Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to societal and ethical norms by using theoretical frameworks derived from social science and robotics. The expansive adoption of AGI technologies magnifies the importance of aligning AGI with human values and ethical boundaries. This paper presents an innovative simulation-based approach, engaging autonomous ’digital citizens’ within a multi-agent system simulation in a virtual city environment. The virtual city serves as a platform to examine systematic interactions and decision-making, leveraging various theories, notably, Social Simulation Theory, Theory of Reasoned Action, Multi-Agent System Theory, and Situated Action Theory. The aim of establishing this digital landscape is to create a fluid platform that enables our AI agents to engage in interactions and enact independent decisions, thereby recreating life-like situations. The LLMs, embodying the personas in this digital city, operate as the leading agents demonstrating substantial levels of autonomy. Despite the promising advantages of this approach, limitations primarily lie in the unpredictability of real-world social structures. This work aims to promote a deeper understanding of AGI dynamics and contribute to its future development, prioritizing the
integration of diverse societal perspectives in the process.

U članku se prvo ukazuje na načine upotrebe veštačke inteligencije u razvoju sistema nadzora i bezbednosti, autonomnog oružja, kao što su dronovi i roboti ubice, i javne uprave. Zatim se razmatra pitanje da li je uprkos etički problematičnom korišćenju veštačke inteligencije, ipak moguće da veštačka inteligencija stekne neka pozitivna znanja o čovečanstvu, koja su u skladu sa principima hrišćanske, a posebno svetootačke antropologije. Tvrdi se dalje da upotrebom, odnosno zloupotrebom veštačke inteligencije u ova tri društvena sektora, veštačka inteligencija može steći znanje o glavnim dogmama hrišćanske Crkve, naime o Božijem ovaploćenju u ljudskom obličju, Božijoj smrti na krstu i njegovom vaskrsenju iz mrtvih i o jednakosti ljudskog roda pred Bogom.

U rešavanju ovih pitanja koristi se svetootačko učenje o Bogu kao Tvorcu koji stvara čovečanstvo po svom liku i podobiju, učenje o odnosu duše i tela razvijeno tokom origenističkih sporova, halkidonsko učenje o  dve neslivene i nerazdeljive prirode Hristove, poznato i kao diofizitstvo, i diotelitsko učenje o volji kao prirodnom, ali ličnom svojstvu.

AB  - A quantitative analysis was conducted on the tweets of 20 leading Serbian mass media outlets and their followers during the three months from January 1 to March 30, 2021. The analysis, that encompassed more than 1 million tweets, was conducted using (a) Twitter API, (b) the Serbian version of LIWC linguistic dictionary, and (c) additional statistical analyses.  Analyses revealed that words related to affective processes (negative emotions), social processes (family and friends), perceptual processes (feel and hear), and personal concerns (work and religion) expressed in tweets of mass media were predictors of the same words in not necessarily related tweets of their followers. The research has shown that spread of psychological and linguistic patterns by media and social networking sites is not limited to negative emotions solely. This research highlights the significance of recommender systems, as they help to determine the content that social media users encounter on a personal level. The findings also indicate how we can address emerging and pressing issues that affect individuals' well-being and democratic capacity, such as echo chambers and polarization. The obtained findings are in line with the communication accommodation theory, emotional contagion theory and negativity bias. Limitations of the present research, future directions, and implications are discussed.

AB  - There are many indications that weather conditions influence human life and well-being. Some of these indicators, such as the influence of weather on human health, have been explored in detail. On the other hand, the influence of daily fluctuations of different meteorological variables on the human psychological state still remains unknown. We apply combined methods from statistics, psychology, machine learning, and complex networks theory to explore the influence of weather parameters on different psychological categories of Twitter users in ten different countries. Our results show that the temperature, pressure, and humidity are highly correlated with Twitter users’ activity, sense, and affect. Our comparative analysis for different countries shows that the strongest correlation was found for the USA, Italy, and Portugal, indicating differences between countries. However, our results show that the level of activity of Twitter users, described as Post Count, is strongly connected to changes in temperature and humidity in all countries. We use complex networks theory to explore these connections and differences between countries further. Our findings suggest that weather parameters can be used to predict Twitter users’ activity and psychological manifestations, which can be beneficial to marketing and advertising.

AB  - Metaverse technology is emerging as a global trend, offering virtual activities with real-world experiences. This paper presents a systematic review of research trends from 2012–2022 to determine the prevalence and current conditions of metaverse technology in education. The PRISMA framework (selected reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis) guided this systematic review. 42 studies were selected from the Scopus database, with more than 70 studies or references from Google Scholar kept as supporting data after quality assessment. The results indicate that research interest in metaverse technology has significantly increased in the last ten years, peaking in 2022. Augmentation and simulation are the most prominent uses of metaverse technology in the learning process. C. Moro (2017) is the most cited author on this topic, with 313 citations, followed by P. Wang (2022) with 264 citations and P. Pelargos (2022) with 163 citations. AR and VR are the most widely used types of metaverse technology. Hopefully, this review will be useful for researchers, educators, and future research on the metaverse and education.

abstract = "Metaverse technology is emerging as a global trend, offering virtual activities with real-world experiences. This paper presents a systematic review of research trends from 2012–2022 to determine the prevalence and current conditions of metaverse technology in education. The PRISMA framework (selected reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis) guided this systematic review. 42 studies were selected from the Scopus database, with more than 70 studies or references from Google Scholar kept as supporting data after quality assessment. The results indicate that research interest in metaverse technology has significantly increased in the last ten years, peaking in 2022. Augmentation and simulation are the most prominent uses of metaverse technology in the learning process. C. Moro (2017) is the most cited author on this topic, with 313 citations, followed by P. Wang (2022) with 264 citations and P. Pelargos (2022) with 163 citations. AR and VR are the most widely used types of metaverse technology. Hopefully, this review will be useful for researchers, educators, and future research on the metaverse and education.",

AB  - Times of uncertainty and fear were brought on by Covid-19. The ongoing
pandemic is a fruitful ground for fake news, as citizens try to find explanations
that fit into their worldviews. This process polarizes society and creates echo
chambers amplified by recommender systems. Our main goal is to detect antivaxxer
echo chambers in Serbia by analyzing online reactions to the recent detention
of prominent anti-vaxxer Dr. Jovana Stojkovic. A content analysis of online
comments is deployed in anti-regime left-leaning, anti-regime right-leaning, and
pro-government media to explore attitudes towards a vaccination conspiracy
theory, police action towards anti-vaxxers, and the government crisis response
team. We clearly identify the anti-vaccine echo chamber among commentators of
anti-regime right-leaning media (YouTube podcasts). Additionally, we describe
attitudes expressed around issues related to vaccination. Limitations and implications
for future research are discussed.

AB  - New technologies are emerging at a fast pace without being properly analyzed in terms of their social impact or adequately regulated by societies. One of the biggest potentially disruptive technologies for the future is the metaverse, or the new Internet, which is being developed by leading tech companies. The idea is to create a virtual reality universe that would allow people to meet, socialize, work, play, entertain, and create. Methods coming from future studies are used to analyze expectations and narrative building around the metaverse. Additionally, it is examined how metaverse could shape the future relations of power and levels of media addiction in the society. Hype and disappointment dynamics created after the video presentation of meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg have been found to affect the present, especially in terms of certainty and designability. This idea is supported by a variety of data, including search engine n-grams, trends in the diffusion of NFT technology, indications of investment interest, stock value statistics, and so on. It has been found that discourse in the mentioned presentation of the metaverse contains elements of optimism, epochalism, and inventibility, which corresponds to the concept of future
essentialism. On the other hand, power relations in society, inquired through the prism of classical theorists, indicate that current trends in the concentration of power among Big Tech could expand even more if the metaverse becomes mainstream. Technology deployed by the metaverse may create an attractive environment that would mimic direct reality and further stimulate media addiction in society. It is proposed that future inquiries examine how virtual reality affects the psychology of individuals and groups, their creative capacity, and imagination. Also, virtual identity as a human right and recommender systems as a public good need to be considered in future theoretical and empirical endeavors.

What makes millennials blow the whistle? From cultural to socio-psychological perspectives on whistleblowers

AB  - Whistleblowing cases that shook intelligence community in the last decade
have something in common. Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning, and Reality Winner are
all members of a single generation – Millennials. We challenge the viewpoint that depicts
this generation as а potential “insider threat.” Millennials do have certain psychological traits
and attitudes that can be related to tendencies towards whistleblowing, but these findings
still do not approve the rhetoric that creates distrust towards the generation. This paper
proposes a shift from the cultural to the socio-psychological level of analysis, with respect
to both cultural and individual characteristics of whistleblowers, but puts more emphasis
on the social dimension. In comprehending recent cases of leaking classified information,
it is not enough to reduce explanation to some individual personality traits or hide behind
an abstraction, such as the concept of generation. To shed more light on the issue, we
introduce the concept of the imagined community, such as the open source community,
promoting free Internet and transparency of information and knowledge. Therefore, mental
membership in an imagined community might be more decisive for blowing the whistle
than the global set of values related to the whole generation of Millennials.

abstract = "Whistleblowing cases that shook intelligence community in the last decade
have something in common. Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning, and Reality Winner are
all members of a single generation – Millennials. We challenge the viewpoint that depicts
this generation as а potential “insider threat.” Millennials do have certain psychological traits
and attitudes that can be related to tendencies towards whistleblowing, but these findings
still do not approve the rhetoric that creates distrust towards the generation. This paper
proposes a shift from the cultural to the socio-psychological level of analysis, with respect
to both cultural and individual characteristics of whistleblowers, but puts more emphasis
on the social dimension. In comprehending recent cases of leaking classified information,
it is not enough to reduce explanation to some individual personality traits or hide behind
an abstraction, such as the concept of generation. To shed more light on the issue, we
introduce the concept of the imagined community, such as the open source community,
promoting free Internet and transparency of information and knowledge. Therefore, mental
membership in an imagined community might be more decisive for blowing the whistle
than the global set of values related to the whole generation of Millennials.",

AB  - 5G is a critical sensitive technology that could endanger public safety. Recent progress of Huawei
in the number of patents relating to 5G caused a trade war over the issue, with multiple actions from the U.S.,
including restrictions towards Chinese companies. This paper seeks to explore the issue of 5G around global
security and the struggle for geopolitical dominance. Identified gap in the literature is related to the question if
there is a safe side in terms of choices that countries make around 5G vendors. Earlier studies have not considered this question appropriately in a comprehensive way, because of one sided look and policy approach. The second question attempts to find the best solution for countries to escape dominance of 5G vendors, ensure high safety and avoid potential hazards. To put 5G technology in context, we present geopolitical issues around a global information infrastructure, provide information into China’s 5G strategy and history of tech struggles between China and the United States (U.S.). We further present emerging geopolitical safety issues regarding 5G technology and elaborate Serbia’s geopolitical turmoil related to 5G. In conclusion we classify countries based on their position about this issue to the West, the East and the Neutral corpuses. The focus on Serbia and politics of 5G diversity is then examined to conclude that this geopolitical position of 5G Neutrality could be beneficial for the balanced world in which new technologies will be a base for multilateral dominance. This paper is limited in technical and legal analysis of the issue. Further research should propose encryption and quality control standards together with legal framework, to ensure diversity in social interest.

AB  - The book describes our tech driven society as the Culture Organism, while the most significant social challenge is repression of the individual by corrupt social agents. This is connected to the appearance of light and mild addictions, discovered through quantitative inquiry, which is put into a wider context, identifying the outcomes as social polarizations, appearance of echo chambers, spread of misinformation and fake news, rise of populist leaders and decreased democratic capacity. Theories of anomie, alienation and mass society are presented as a basis for research. The nature of media is examined in the context of addiction intensity, leading to the conclusion that new media, such as smartphones, are more addictive than the older media. This may be because new media have more reality-mimicking features. The study concludes that AI recommender algorithms are the most powerful social force and a new mass media, as they decide which content to expose billions of people across the globe on an individual level. That is why AI recommender algorithms may be considered a public good.

Although people are able to make fairly accurate personality judgments of others, recent technological advances in machine learning made computers better at predicting personality than humans. In this review, we will focus on computer-based personality judgments and their theoretical considerations and practical implications in politics. More precisely,
we will discuss (i) the use of social platforms and digital devices in collecting so-called digital footprints, (ii) personality traits that are assessed based on digital footprints, (iii) advantages and disadvantages of using computer-based personality judgments, (iv) persuasive communication based on digital footprints of personality traits, and lastly, (v) the matters of privacy and informed consent. With this review, we aim to provide a guide how to use computer- based personality judgment in a way to serve the public interest.

A relatively young field that was born within the “neuroculture” matrix is covered with a veil of mystery and often misrepresented in the media as a powerful tool used by corporations to manipulate consumers’ preferences, purchasing behavior, etc. In this paper, we have done an extensive literature review in order to put light on some dilemmas and take off the veil of mystery that surrounds neuromarketing. Firstly, (i) we discussed the definition and context in which neuromarketing emerged, (ii) important brain areas in consumer neuroscience which find their application in neuromarketing research, (iii) techniques used in neuromarketing (neuroimaging and nonneuroimaging), (iv) ethical issues in the field of neuromarketing (a part of neuroethics), and (v) limitations and recommendations for future development of neuromarketing.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to clarify specific aspects of the impact of the brain-machine interface on our understanding of subjectivity. The brain-machine interface is presented as a phase of cyborgization of humans. Some projects in the field of brain-machine interface are aimed at enabling consensual telepathy – communication without symbolic mediation. Consensual telepathy refers to one of potential ways of transmission of information within singularity. Therefore, consensual telepathy is an important aspect of singularity. Singularity or human-machine symbiosis shows some similarities with child-mother unity. Therefore, the psychodynamic perspective might be considered useful in thinking about human-machine symbiosis. Knowledge from developmental psychodynamic psychology combined with insights by Slavoj Žižek and Jean Baudrillard provides an additional perspective looking at human-machine symbiosis. The paper claims that if consensual telepathy becomes another way of communication, it will have the potential to annihilate subjectivity making it schizophrenic. At the same time, we look at the possibility of an escape from our inner world through the prism of addictions.

Određeni projekti u oblasti interfejs mozak-mašina imaju za cilj da omoguće uspostavljanje konsenzualne telepatije – komunikacije bez simboličkog posredovanja. Konsenzualna telepatija upućuje na jedan od mogućih načina transmisije informacija unutar singularnosti. Stoga, konsenzualna telepatija predstavlja važan aspekt singularnosti. Singularnost ili simbioza čovek-mašina pokazuje neke sličnosti sa jedinstvom deteta i majke. Stoga bi se psihodinamska perspektiva mogla pokazati korisna u razmišljanju o simbiozi čovek-mašina.
