About

Jussi Okkonen is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, information behavior, and media literacy, with a particular focus on the cognitive and societal implications of emerging technologies. His work critically examines how artificial intelligence and digital environments shape human decision-making, attention, and learning, especially among younger populations. His highly cited 2019 paper, "Minors and Artificial Intelligence – Implications to Media Literacy" (22 citations), stands as a foundational contribution, exploring how AI-driven content systems challenge traditional media literacy frameworks for children and adolescents. Okkonen’s research has been instrumental in bridging the gap between technical AI development and educational policy, advocating for new literacy paradigms that account for algorithmic influence. Beyond this landmark study, his broader portfolio includes investigations into information ergonomics, augmented cognition, and the design of human-centered AI systems. With a career marked by interdisciplinary collaboration, Okkonen’s work has informed both academic discourse and practical guidelines for digital education. His insights continue to shape how researchers and educators understand the evolving relationship between minors, AI, and critical thinking in an increasingly automated information landscape.
