In an era marked by rapid technological innovation and the pervasive influence of artificial intelligence (AI), the media assumes a crucial role in shaping public perception and understanding. This Special Issue aims to unravel the intricate interplay between media narratives, technological innovation, and the diverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on environmental, social, and economic landscapes. We invite contributions that explore the role of the media in shaping narratives around sustainability, that investigate the transformative influence of the media in driving technological advancements, and that scrutinize the varied impacts of AI on our world, encompassing both its positive and negative aspects. The overarching goal of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the media contributes to the discourse on sustainability, technological innovations, and the complex ramifications of AI, especially in an era where environmental, social, and corporate governance standards come into play. Our aim is to uncover insights that facilitate informed discussions and contribute to the cultivation of responsible media practices in the digital age. We seek to build upon and complement the existing literature by offering fresh perspectives on sustainable storytelling in media and exploring its evolution in response to technological shifts, particularly in the age of generative AI. We also provide a nuanced examination of the media’s role in the ever-evolving landscape of technological innovation, connecting contemporary developments to historical contexts. Lastly, this Special Issue delves deeper into the multifaceted impacts of AI on the environment, society, and the economy, thereby enhancing the existing body of knowledge on this intricate subject.
