Academic Imagination and Exploration of Intelligent Communication (Talk in Mandarin)

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a significant driving force, profoundly impacting both journalistic practices and academic research. This seminar will explore the new academic landscape that AI technologies have brought to the field of communication studies, examining it from multiple perspectives. Additionally, it will introduce two empirical studies focusing on human-machine interaction and the development of AI in the media industry. The first empirical study will analyze the complex psychological characteristics of humans when interacting with robots, using data from Douban groups as a foundation. The second empirical study will focus on AI anchors as the research subject, investigating their lifecycle and exploring the factors influencing their development in media organizations from technological, organizational, and societal perspectives.
