This article reports how 18 UK and Canadian population health artificial intelligence researchers in Higher Education Institutions perceive the use of artificial intelligence systems in their research, and how this compares with their perceptions about the media portrayal of artificial intelligence systems. This is triangulated with a small scoping analysis of how UK and Canadian news articles portray artificial intelligence systems associated with health research and care. Interviewees had concerns about what they perceived as sensationalist reporting of artificial intelligence systems – a finding reflected in the media analysis. In line with Pickersgill’s concept of ‘epistemic modesty’, they considered artificial intelligence systems better perceived as non-exceptionalist methodological tools that were uncertain and unexciting. Adopting ‘epistemic modesty’ was sometimes hindered by stakeholders to whom the research is disseminated, who may be less interested in hearing about the uncertainties of scientific practice, having implications on both research and policy.

Corporations play a major role in artificial intelligence (AI) research, development, and deployment, with profound consequences for society. This paper surveys opportunities to improve how corporations govern their AI activities so as to better advance the public interest. The paper focuses on the roles of and opportunities for a wide range of actors inside the corporation—managers, workers, and investors—and outside the corporation—corporate partners and competitors, industry consortia, nonprofit organizations, the public, the media, and governments. Whereas prior work on multistakeholder AI governance has proposed dedicated institutions to bring together diverse actors and stakeholders, this paper explores the opportunities they have even in the absence of dedicated multistakeholder institutions. The paper illustrates these opportunities with many cases, including the participation of Google in the U.S. Department of Defense Project Maven; the publication of potentially harmful AI research by OpenAI, with input from the Partnership on AI; and the sale of facial recognition technology to law enforcement by corporations including Amazon, IBM, and Microsoft. These and other cases demonstrate the wide range of mechanisms to advance AI corporate governance in the public interest, especially when diverse actors work together.

In the transition to a data-driven society, organizations have introduced data-driven algorithms that often apply artificial intelligence. In this research, an ethical framework was developed to ensure robustness and completeness and to avoid and mitigate potential public uproar. We take a socio-technical perspective, i.e., view the algorithm embedded in an organization with infrastructure, rules, and procedures as one to-be-designed system. The framework consists of five ethical principles: beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, and explicability. It can be used during the design for identification of relevant concerns. The framework has been validated by applying it to real-world fraud detection cases: Systeem Risico Indicatie (SyRI) of the Dutch government and the algorithm of the municipality of Amersfoort. The former is a controversial country-wide algorithm that was ultimately prohibited by court. The latter is an algorithm in development. In both cases, it proved effective in identifying all ethical risks. For SyRI, all concerns found in the media were also identified by the framework, mainly focused on transparency of the entire socio-technical system. For the municipality of Amersfoort, the framework highlighted risks regarding the amount of sensitive data and communication to and with the public, presenting a more thorough overview compared to the risks the media raised.

Based Medicine

Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to affect various fields of medicine substantially and has the potential to improve many aspects of healthcare. However, AI has been creating much hype, too. In applying AI technology to patients, medical professionals should be able to resolve any anxiety, confusion, and questions that patients and the public may have. Also, they are responsible for ensuring that AI becomes a technology beneficial for patient care. These make the acquisition of sound knowledge and experience about AI a task of high importance for medical students. Preparing for AI does not merely mean learning information technology such as computer programming. One should acquire sufficient knowledge of basic and clinical medicines, data science, biostatistics, and evidence-based medicine. As a medical student, one should not passively accept stories related to AI in medicine in the media and on the Internet. Medical students should try to develop abilities to distinguish correct information from hype and spin and even capabilities to create thoroughly validated, trustworthy information for patients and the public.

How are robots, androids and cyborgs presented and received in the media? This chapter applies a social media analysis to this question by using empirical research on news stories that feature robotic technologies to see how robots are presented, consider what reporters focus on when writing about robots, and review how the public discusses and receives robots. The theoretical framework utilised focuses on how robot narratives are framed, how robot controversies are presented in different media, and how robots are domesticated through the media. The two main cases are a “robot hotel” in Japan, and a “killer robot” at a Volkswagen factory in Germany. News coverage of both stories shows widely differing ways for how the robot-narrative is framed.

This paper discusses about media analysis especially on language news of the current issues in both electronic and printed media of Indonesia. Focus on the gender issues on the headline news of media, the writer analyzes various types of gender insensitivity among the media as being portraited in the titles especially for such criminal cases in which women were involved both as the victims and the doer or lawbreakers. It’s a library research, in which the writer focuses on certain cases to be analyzed and collects all related data to support the analysis. Since the object of the analysis is the title of various headlines news, the theoretical approaches here are theory of semiotic and representation. The research finds out that as being represented in the titles, some media are not quite sensitive in viewing various cases happened in the society, especially related to gender inequality. The media only focused on how to get a lot of audience attention but ignoring the effects on the readers. The bias news would essentially causes and strengthens myths which only bring such benefit to a certain interest especially the power or those who control the rule. The research also finds that the power relation between men and women in the public area  also contribute in generating  such bias  statements or news, not only on the choice of words but also on  angle and gender perspective. The bias news represents the bias society.

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gradually having effects in most facets of the society; and no area tends to be exempted from this AI bug. This research explored the discourses of the place of the media, especially newspapers, as the watchdogs of the society in this unfolding scenario. It was expected that the media should be at the forefront in letting citizens know its implications. The study set out to determine the volume of coverage given to news about Artificial Intelligence (AI) by The Punch, The Guardian, and Vanguard newspapers; to identify the story types through which AI stories were reported by the newspapers, and to examine if the newspapers gave prominence to AI stories. The study was anchored on the Agenda Setting Theory while Content Analysis was adopted as the research method for obtaining data from a population of 1,095 made up of the newspapers` editions from January to December 2019, and a sample size of 285 derived through the use of the Creative Research System Calculator. The study revealed that only 64 AI stories appeared in the selected newspapers throughout 2019. It also discovered that most of the stories were in photograph form, and that prominence was not given to AI stories by the newspapers. It was therefore concluded that since automation may be the future, newspapers must start to intensify in educating the public about AI through their coverage. The study recommended among other things that newspapers should give prominence to AI stories. Also, they should report AI stories with all story types, and place such stories in all the prime sections of the newspapers.

As a continuation of Public Relations activities in the current era, in building relations between organizations or companies and the public, media relations is one of the roles of PR in relation management. This study aims to discuss media relations management in enhancing the company's positive image on elements of public relations transformation in the 4.0 era. By using the literacy study method, this research is presented in a descriptive qualitative way to analyze data relating to the company's media relations management by mobilization and digitalization. The results found in this study are the role of AI is very helpful and easy in public relations work, especially in media relations activities. For companies, the presence of AI helps in managing the media used by the company as a form of disseminating information through social media owned by the company itself (owned media) which is done in real time. So that in the management of information through social media requires deception of content and media monitoring aimed at evaluating public relations in media relations activities that are able to enhance the company's positive image.
