There is now a video of my keynote on #digital societies, deep #mediatization and communicative #AI at @sfsic@twitter.com congress available online. Thanks again for the great invitation! #comAI #pioneercommunities

I will use this example from the @tazgetroete today as a hook for my talk at the @sfsci@twitter.com congress. It shows well how far apart the narratives about communicative #AI and the everyday work of journalists are, how much the phenomenon of #ComAI is currently characterised by a "talking" and "curating into being" - and why #journalism is involved in this. Also #pioneerjournalism 👇👇👇

Worth reading: An article by @Roland_Fischer@twitter.com about Anic T. Wae, an #OpenAI #GPT3/ #GPT4-based #AI columnist for the @tazgetroete. Why? You learn how far the human-machine symbiosis has to go for the system to work at all, about protections and anthropomorphisation by journalists, the importance of #OpenAI's infrastructure and that the agency lies precisely not in the system but in the hybrid figuration of human and machine. #ComAI #pioneerjournalism In German: https://www.taz.de/!5938268

Still thinking about @tante‘s talk at #rp23. It resonates with our argument that communicative #AI is, at its core, about the #automation of #communication. The term AI primarily refers to a narrative that spans various phenomena of software-based automation - but a very influential one in academia as well. #ComAI https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11616-022-00758-4

A nice overview of anthropomorphising AI narratives by @tante at #rp23: #AI „learns“, „works“ like the human brain, can „solve“ tests, will be „more intelligent“ than humans, „thinks“, „decides“, „understands“, „hallucinates“.

AI thus becomes a „sham subject“ - and this is the problem because AI is a form of #automation, which is enforced by humans.

This is also true for #ComAI and the #automation of #communication…

Now at #rp23 @tante on the #AI Hype: „Criti-hype“ between celebrating the potential and open letters on the danger of AI. #ComAI

On the way to #rp23 - with the current student group of the @zemki MA Digital Media and Society. My research seminar is about the futures of media and the re:publica is a good chance to grasp what the different media bubbles are thinking: #comAI, #sustainability or really just #cash? We are curious ...

All of that is good news, thank you!

Today, at the BLM and IUM symposium on #AI and #law, I am giving a talk on the challenges of communicative AI. The argument: at the core should be standards of human-machine symbiosis. #ComAI https://www.blm.de/blm-events/events-2023/blm-rechtssymposium.cfm

Today at @zemki research seminar: @daspitzberg@twitter.com presenting his latest research on AI ChatBots. #ComAI #pioneercommunities

‼️JOB ALERT‼️ At @zemki, @unibremen we are hiring a professor for communication and media studies with a focus on media change. He/she should focus on transformations in media and communications, reflecting #digitalization, #mediatization and #ComAI in a long-term perspective. Further information on the professorship can be found on this website: https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/zemki/details/stellenausschreibung-professur-w2-fuer-kommunikations-und-medienwissenschaft-mit-dem-schwerpunkt-medienwandel

On my way back from the conference "AI Technology as Human Interaction Culture" at Viadrina University, Frankfurt Oder. It was 2 days of exciting discussion with linguists and social scientists about communicative AI. For me the most important point is that #ComAI concerns societal communication and not simply human-machine interaction, if you think of the latter as an individual relationship. Thanks to Marie-Theres Fester-Seeger and Britta Schneider for this great event! https://www.uni-bremen.de/fileadmin/user_upload/fachbereiche/fb9/zemki/media/photos/news/Workshop_AI_as_Interactional_Human_Culture_Book_of_Abstracts.pdf

I am already very excited about the conference on communicative AI at the @Viadrina@twitter.com. And I'm looking forward to my keynote there on Friday #comAI #pioneercommunities deep #mediatization https://sciences.social/@zemki/110096118033473555

Es sind nicht (mehr) nur die Printmedien, auf die #ComAI zielt, sondern auch das (digitale) Radio. #ChatGPT zur Unterstützung des Radio-Programms, via @heiseonline: https://www.heise.de/news/RadioGPT-KI-traegt-Nachrichten-vor-fuehrt-Interviews-und-waehlt-Musik-aus-7536215.html

#Musk announces that #bots should remain possible on #Twitter - but write-only and "bots providing good content that is free." The use of Twitter for research will probably remain very limited. And who will check what is "good content"? #ComAI ping @cbpuschmann https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/04/elon-musk-says-twitter-will-provide-a-free-write-only-api-to-bots-providing-good-content/
