Al and Communications: New Machines and New Concepts

Speaker: Terry Flew

Venue: 105,Building of School of Media and International Culture, Zijingang Campus

Abstract: In this report, Professor Terry Flew will explore how the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by consumers and industries will transform our understanding of communication studies in terms of social practice and academic research. He will focus on three key issues: the evolving status of machines as communication participants, rather than merely platforms that assist human communication; the impact of the increasing reliance on automated information and decision - making systems on trust; and how global communication, as a field of study, will be challenged by the changing relationship between data and geopolitics.
