Abstract

As a global technoscientific form involving various forces and stakeholders, research and development (R&D) in artificial intelligence (AI) transcends corporate, national and institutional boundaries. Incorporating transnational rhetorical analysis and corpus-assisted discourse analysis, this article examines the global cultural flows surrounding AI constructed in official and media discourses in the US and China. We propose a new theoretical concept of knowledgescape that expands the toolkits of global flows and provides new explanatory power about global innovation and competition. This concept sheds light on the global processes, mechanisms and power dynamics of the production, dissemination, consumption and contestation of cutting-edge knowledge.

将知识景观理论化为一种跨国中介力量：人工智能与全球流动

作为一种涉及各种力量和利益相关者的全球性技术科学形式，人工智能（AI）的研究与开发（R&D）超越了企业、国家和机构的界限。本文结合跨国修辞分析和语料库辅助话语分析，研究了中美两国官方和媒体话语中围绕人工智能构建的全球文化流。我们提出了一个新的理论概念--"知识景观"（knowledgescape），它拓展了全球流动的工具包，并为全球创新和竞争提供了新的解释力。这一概念揭示了尖端知识的生产、传播、消费和竞争的全球过程、机制和权力动态。
