Artificial Intelligence and Metaphor

Presented by John Jordan, UWM Dept. of Communication

New technologies like AI require metaphors for understanding. But these metaphors do more than provide context; they shape and steer people’s attitudes and future policies. We can learn much about AI by examining the metaphors currently being used to define AI in public. Join us for a conversation with John Jordan, Associate Professor of Communication.

In order to ground the discussion, Professor Jordan has provided a short optional reading. You are highly encouraged to check it out: https://uwm.edu/libraries/wp-content/uploads/sites/572/2023/10/AI-MetaphorReading.pdf
