Poles want deliveries using smart drones and care robots, but they are afraid of autonomous cars – these are the conclusions of a survey conducted by the Laboratory of Media Studies at UW dedicated to artificial intelligence. At the same time, Poles do not see the need to regulate this area by law, and a significant part of them has not yet encountered this issue at all. - It is possible that the term "robot" primarily brings to mind the adjective "kitchen" – admits Prof. Tomasz Gackowski, head of the Laboratory of Media Studies.
We are pleased to announce that following the recent ECIL 2023 conference, a book has been published, featuring a chapter by Karolina Brylska!
The publication is titled: “Who are Physicians Talking to on Social Media? Needed Data Literacy and Visual Literacy of the Assumed Audience(s) of COVID-19 Vaccination Posts”.
The head of LBM UW, Prof. Tomasz Gackowski, is a co-author of a recently published article in Nature Human Behaviour, diagnosing the surprising fact that efforts to combat disinformation may unintentionally contribute to increasing citizens' distrust of all media messages, including those that are credible.
We encourage you to read:

The war in Ukraine has caused Poles to share fears about their future – show the results of CATI Survey conducted by Laboratory of Media Studies of the University of Warsaw.
The survey, conducted by the Media Studies Laboratory team, is an interesting illustration of the opinions of Polish women and men on how the Russian-Ukrainian war looks as seen through the windows of their homes and the screens of their smartphones – says dr Karolina Brylska (University of Warsaw, Laboratory of Media Studies deputy director)
After two years of fighting a pandemic, during a period of great uncertainty, it seems that the war in Ukraine might be seen as the straw that broke the camel's back; in the coming months this may cause many breakthroughs and reevaluations, in social, economic, and political life – states prof. Tomasz Gackowski (University of Warsaw, Laboratory of Media Studies deputy director).
