Abstract:
This article examines neurosocial intelligence as a managerially significant resource that determines trust in artificial intelligence and digital platforms in organizations, with a focus on education and interaction with media platforms. The social context for the study is the changes in media behavior and consumption observed in 2026, including rising digital fatigue and a demand for “silence” (reduced sensory and information overload), the normalization of a “convenient healthy lifestyle” as a seamless everyday experience, increased public demand for AI content labeling and reality-checking tools, the growing importance of live communications as a mechanism for restoring trust, and the expansion of platform formats (personalization, mini-apps, games, integration into game worlds, and online-offline hybrids). It is shown that in the context of algorithmization, trust ceases to be a general attitude and becomes a mechanism for coordination, disciplined execution, and responsibility distribution. A model of calibrated trust in AI is proposed as a model of delegation compliance with the limits of technology applicability and institutional norms of responsibility. Neurosocial intelligence is operationalized as a subject’s integrative ability to recognize social and digital signals, manage attention under conditions of overload, critically evaluate algorithmic recommendations, and predict the consequences of digital actions. A typology of practices for interacting with AI and platforms (delegation without verification, calibrated delegation, avoidance, and latent use) is presented, along with the logic for constructing and validating a neurosocial intelligence scale and the contours of managerial application of this tool in education and on media platforms.
