AI for Communication offers an engaging exploration into the diverse applications of artificial intelligence (AI) within the realm of communication. By bridging the gap between the scientific and engineering realms of AI and communication, this book reveals how AI, since its inception during the Dartmouth Summer workshop of 1956, has inherently been a science of communication. Exploring key advancements such as machine translation, natural language processing, large language models, computational creativity, and social robotics, this book shows how these innovations not only disrupt but also actively transform human communication.

The book is designed for students, teachers, and general readers who want to know how the field of communication impacts and influences the theory and practice of AI and how recent developments in AI will affect all aspects of human social interaction.

 

Industry Reviews

This brilliant book argues that the future of communication is AI, and that the future of AI is communication. The author takes the reader through all the various ways in which AI is already entering our lives, and explains in each case what this really means for human communication. It functions both as an accessible guide, and as a profound contribution to the AI debate. You are in safe hands with David Gunkel. He has a rare gift of wearing his erudition lightly, and this extremely readable book is freighted with deeply sophisticated insight into a vast and complex field.
