Abstract
Initiated by Communication and Society, a group of 12 Chinese communication scholars engaged in an academic dialogue with the popular AI natural language model ChatGPT in July 2023. These communication scholars, who have different academic backgrounds and research interests, raised several sets of questions to query ChatGPT via OpenAI's interface. The dialogue covered a wide range of topics, including recent developments in the field, the potential for interdisciplinary collaborations, and the unique challenges and contributions that AI brings to the field of communication and media studies. In addition to the Q&A, we invited two scholars, Prof. Xiao Xiaosui and Prof. Fang Kecheng, to provide critical readings of the dialogue to enrich this unique column. Due to limited space, we selected only the highlights of the AI-human dialogue for print in this issue, along with the two critical articles in full. We take this initiative as an exciting opportunity to engage scholars interested in understanding the impact of AI on the future of communication research.
