This workshop aims to bring together students of communication, political scientists, and anyone interested in the public discourse around AI. Due to its ambiguous nature, AI often acts as a floating signifier in public conversations, allowing multiple and often contradictory narratives to co-exist. We are interested in how different audiences conceive of and talk about AI, who are the voices shaping the narratives and what implications follow from this for the governance of AI and for society more broadly. This includes the public discourse around AI, but also how political elites communicate and understand AI when attempting to regulate it.
