Abstract

Abstract This article investigates the media's construction of public perceptions of future human–machine relationships related to artificial intelligence (AI) development and reflects on how such perceptions play a role in shaping strategies for the use of AI in Denmark. Through a critical discourse analysis of 253 newspaper and magazine articles published from 1956 to 2021, it shows how conflicting discursive positions are constructed, representing what I refer to as public AI imaginaries. The analysis shows that newspapers and magazines tend not to distinguish between futuristic descriptions of the human–machine relationship of AI and the human-centred principles of intelligence amplification (IA). Furthermore, it demonstrates how principles of IA are reflected in the Danish strategies for AI in practice. While the discursive ambiguity has fuelled public debate, it leaves the term AI relatively vague, thereby creating uncertainty rather than possibilities for a form of human-centered AI in empirical reality.
公共人工智能想象:1956年至2021年丹麦报纸和杂志如何报道关于人工智能的辩论
本文调查了媒体对与人工智能(AI)发展相关的未来人机关系的公众认知的构建,并反思了这种认知如何在丹麦使用人工智能的策略中发挥作用。通过对1956年至2021年间发表的253篇报纸和杂志文章的批判性话语分析,它展示了如何构建相互冲突的话语立场,代表了我所说的公共人工智能想象。分析表明,报纸和杂志往往不区分未来对人工智能人机关系的描述和以人为中心的智能放大(IA)原则。此外,它还展示了人工智能的原则如何在实践中反映在丹麦的人工智能战略中。虽然话语的模糊性引发了公众的争论,但它使人工智能这个术语相对模糊,从而在经验现实中创造了不确定性,而不是以人为中心的人工智能形式的可能性。
