Two Libyan academics, Dr. Mukhtar Al-Arishi and Professor Abdul Karim Al-Zayani, have published two international books on media and artificial intelligence through the "IGI Global" scientific publishing house. The books examine the rapid developments in media and communication, as well as the impact of artificial intelligence and digital technologies on content creation and audience interaction.

The first book, titled "Artificial Intelligence and Global Media Convergence," consists of 22 chapters spanning 450 pages. It explores the convergence of artificial intelligence and multimedia, and the reflections of smart technologies on media content production and communication methods in various media environments. The book covers topics such as artificial intelligence communications, automation, algorithmic control, content production, intellectual property rights, cultural communication, cybersecurity, digital media, and electronic news.

The second book, titled "Digital Audiences, Identities, and Participation," comprises 19 chapters and approximately 370 pages. It focuses on the impact of the digital environment on shaping individual and collective identities, the evolution of electronic public spheres, and transformations in social, cultural, and civic participation. The book discusses topics such as digital identity, electronic participation, digital audiences, content production, digital communities, and social media platforms.

The publication of these books coincides with growing academic interest in studying the relationship between artificial intelligence, media, and society. The books represent a contribution by Libyan academics to the international scientific publishing movement, in addition to research cooperation between scholars from the University of Sharjah and the University of Liwa.
