Synthetica examines the complex and multifaceted ripple effects and limitations of AI-human interplay in the contexts of work, business, and society. It focuses on contemporary data-driven organizations through their ICT development and application practices as well as discursive constructions that manifest the limitations of this technology. Limits will be addressed on several cross-sectional dimensions that include technical, human, sociocultural, and communicative.<\/p>\n
