Reimagining roles and identity in the era of human - AI collaboration - Volume 2

This Research Topic is the second volume of the Research Topics "Reimagining roles and identity in the era of human - AI collaboration". Please, see the first volume here

In the realm of advanced technology, identity-related issues are at the forefront of a digital society grappling with online interactions, privacy security, and self-perception. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, its integration into human activities presents critical challenges such as algorithmic bias, privacy invasions, misinformation, and the manipulation of reality through deepfakes and echo chambers. These technological shifts not only influence human daily life but also necessitate a reevaluation of human subjectivity and social dynamics, pressing interdisciplinary researchers to address these urgent topics head-on.

Human-AI collaboration is forecasted to be a cornerstone of future society, directly influencing identity-related issues. Despite its importance, academic discourse around this intersection is nascent. Building upon the foundation laid by "Behavioral Processes in Online Identity-Related Issues," this topic seeks to further delve into identity within the context of human-AI partnerships, encouraging a deeper examination and academic scrutiny.

This Research Topic aims to gather diverse conceptual and theoretical interpretations, particularly inviting behavioral research related to the emerging dynamics of identity in human-AI collaborations. Interdisciplinary views, theoretical adjustments, and multi-method research approaches are welcomed to address the pivotal questions of digital existence and the evolution of intelligent society. Especially sought-after are theoretical discussions on crafting online identity systems in a manner that promotes well-being, aligned with the vision of 'AI for social good'.

To gather further insights into identity dynamics within human-AI collaboration, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Personal branding in human-AI collaboration
- Self-construction in human-AI collaboration
- Trust and privacy concerns in identity-related issues
- Identity formation in specific roles, such as consumers and students
- Online identity and individual well-being
- Digital footprints and identity shifts in human-AI interactions
- Behavioral patterns in identity building within human-AI frameworks
- Digital identity management strategies in the AI era
- AI's role in shaping online identities
- Psychological aspects of identity in human-AI engagements
- Motivations underpinning human-AI collaborations
- Emotional dynamics in human-AI collaborations
- Role development within human-AI frameworks
- Human agency considerations in AI interactions

We encourage various article types that explore these complexities, contributing significant knowledge to the field.
