Artificial intelligence in news photographs: a cross-cultural visual content analysis

Published:04 October 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

Given that little research has focused on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is visually constructed in mass media, this article employs visual content analysis to examine the construction of human-AI relations in news media photographs in the U.S. and China. The findings suggest that a human-centered approach should be adopted in the visual communication design of AI. Journalists and professional communicators should make effort to highlight the necessary role of humans and avoid the exclusive focus on AI.
