商品描述

Communication and artificial intelligence (AI) are closely related. It is communication – particularly interpersonal conversational interaction – that provides AI with its defining test case and experimental evidence. Likewise, recent developments in AI introduce new challenges and opportunities for communication studies. Technologies such as machine translation of human languages, spoken dialogue systems like Siri, algorithms capable of producing publishable journalistic content, and social robots are all designed to communicate with users in a human-like way.

This timely and original textbook provides educators and students with a much-needed resource, connecting the dots between the science of AI and the discipline of communication studies. Clearly outlining the topic's scope, content and future, the text introduces key issues and debates, highlighting the importance and relevance of AI to communication studies. In lively and accessible prose, David Gunkel provides a new generation with the information, knowledge, and skills necessary to working and living in a world where social interaction is no longer restricted to humans.

The first work of its kind, <i>An Introduction to Communication and Artificial Intelligence</i> is the go-to textbook for students and scholars getting to grips with this crucial interdisciplinary topic.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

溝通和人工智慧(AI)密切相關。特別是人際對話互動,這種溝通方式為AI提供了其定義的測試案例和實驗證據。同樣,AI的最新發展為溝通研究帶來了新的挑戰和機遇。機器翻譯人類語言、像Siri這樣的口語對話系統、能夠生成可發表的新聞內容的算法以及社交機器人等技術都旨在以類似人類的方式與用戶進行溝通。

這本及時而獨特的教科書為教育工作者和學生提供了一個迫切需要的資源,將AI科學與溝通研究學科聯繫起來。清晰地概述了該主題的範圍、內容和未來,本書介紹了關鍵問題和辯論,強調了AI對溝通研究的重要性和相關性。大衛·岡克爾以生動易懂的文字為新一代人提供了在社交互動不再僅限於人類的世界中工作和生活所需的信息、知識和技能。

作為首部此類作品,《溝通與人工智慧入門》是學生和學者掌握這一重要跨學科主題的首選教科書。
