From human to virtual : The rise of virtual influencers and how we build relationships with influencers online (English)
Abstract [sv]

Vi lever idag i en värld där sociala medier är dominerande i vårt kommunikationslandskap och präglar vår vardag. I samband med utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens har fenomenet "Virtuella Influencers" uppkommit och suddat ut gränsen mellan verklighet och digital representation. De AI-genererade profilerna har blivit viktiga komponenter inom marknadsföringsstrategier och utmanat de traditionella tillvägagångssätten. Att virtuella influencers syftar till att efterlikna mänskliga profiler genom dess egenskaper och personligheter, väcks frågan gällande transparens och tillförlitlighet till det som publiceras på de olika sociala mediekanalerna. Det blir alltmer avgörande att skapa en hållbar miljö på sociala medier för att upprätthålla relationer mellan aktörerna inom branschen. Transparens och autenticitet ska prioriteras mellan parterna för att de relationer som byggs, ska grunda sig i förtroende, oavsett om profilen är mänsklig eller virtuell.

Abstract [en]

Today we live in a world where social media is dominant in our communication landscape and characterizes our everyday life. In connection with the development of artificial intelligence, the phenomenon of "Virtual Influencers" has emerged and blurred the line between reality and digital representation. The AI-generated profiles have become important components of marketing strategies, challenging the traditional approaches. That virtual influencers aim to imitate human profiles through their characteristics and personalities raises the question of transparency and reliability of what is published on the various social media channels. It is becoming increasingly crucial to create a sustainable environment on social media in order to maintain relationships between the actors within the industry. Transparency and authenticity must be prioritized between the parties so that the relationships that are built must be based on trust, regardless of whether the profile is human or virtual.
