To address old and new challenges, many look to new technologies. But, at the same time, there are deep questions of how these technologies will themselves be governed and put to work for common good.

Course Description: Big data, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and large language models are words that are becoming part of our everyday lives. They shape how we interact with each other, purchase products and services, get hired, receive social benefits from governments and, increasingly, how we create various media content. Such important transformation also brings ethical and policy issues to the forefront, as we can see, for example, in global efforts to regulate AI and its outcomes. This course

Course Description: The massive amount of data available online continues to increase the bounds of social scientific inquiry. Researchers in both academia and the private sector can gain a greater understanding of human behavior by analyzing the abundant social data stored online.

On the one hand, the Chinese government prioritizes the communication industry as a key sector driving the economic growth, taking multiple roles as media industry facilitator, regulator, and collaborator. It also has launched various ‘soft power’ campaigns to “tell good China stories” on the international stage. On the other hand, transnational media companies have wasted no time in not onl
