| description | In recent years, the continuous and increasing implementation of artificial intelligence technologiesin our daily lives has triggered discussions regarding its potentials and risks, especially in news media.However, the analysis of the way in which this technology is communicated to the public is limited. Theframing approach can be applied to understand the structure of news stories and to explore the type ofinterpretation patterns that are used to inform the public about artificial intelligence technologies. Forthis purpose, a total of 209 news articles from two highly circulated Turkish newspapers were gatheredbetween January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 and analyzed in order to discover how this emergingtechnology is framed in the media discourse with regard to its prospects and challenges. The resultsindicate that the following frames are used in Turkish news coverage to thematize the possibilitiesand potential risks of artificial intelligence: “Artificial intelligence as assistant/supporter”, “economicbenefit”, “elimination of human error”, “human replacement”, and “ethical concerns”. Overall, the newscoverage reveals a predominately positive tendency toward artificial intelligence by emphasizing theprospects and benefits for its users. |
