<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><b>#PeaceJam2025</b><span
style="font-weight: 400;"> theme, </span><b><i>“</i></b><b>The
Irrational Dimensions of Pop Culture: Viral Trends, Memes,
AI, and the Language of Hate,”</b><span
style="font-weight: 400;"> explores how this
irrationality, marked by humor, fear, outrage, and
virality drives the appeal of online content, often
reinforcing hate speech, disinformation, and social
division.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From deepfakes and
AI-generated memes to echo chambers supported by social
media algorithms, we will discuss how emerging
technologies are fueling a new wave of digital content
that is hard to trace, emotionally manipulative, and
rapidly spreading. At the same time, we highlight how AI
and digital creativity can also be used for peacebuilding,
education, and countering hate speech.</span></p>
