New theory of "technohybridism" explores AI's impact on language and norms

A new academic paper introduces the concept of "technohybridism" to describe how AI-generated language increasingly influences and reshapes human communication and societal norms. The paper proposes "recursive semantic normalization" as the process by which AI outputs, once adopted and integrated into practices, contribute to the formation of new semantic regularities. It argues that the unit of analysis should be a hybrid semantic system comprising human practices, AI generation, and institutional adoption, highlighting potential consequences such as weakened epistemic vigilance and reduced cognitive diversity.

    Technohybridism: Recursive Semantic Normalization in AI-Mediated Societies

    arXiv:2611.07984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language-generating AI systems are no longer only objects of linguistic interaction: their outputs increasingly re-enter the communicative and institutional practices from which their training material was drawn. Drawing on social…
