涌现的问题域:智能时代的新话题与旧议题的新意涵——2023年新媒体研究述评

Emerging Problematic Domains:Novel Topics and Implications Arising from Traditional Issues in the Era of Artificial Intelligence——A Summary of New Media Research in 2023

以Chat GPT为代表的生成式人工智能技术的跃迁,不仅意味着一种技术的涌现,也带来了新话题的涌现以及旧议题生发出新意涵,由此而形成一个新的问题域。2023年,学者们主要围绕Chat GPT的应用以及其可能产生的社会影响、人机关系与交往变化、人类的生存环境与生存状态变化等方面进行大量讨论,展开了深入的探索与思考。本文依据议题的新鲜度、理论视角的新颖性和研究的深入程度等标准,从2023年核心期刊的新媒体研究中提炼出六大议题,即人机新关系和新交往、知识生产新机制、智能机器、媒介物(技术物、虚拟物)、乡村新媒介、“短视频+直播”研究,并分门别类加以简要地述评,以期通过这种有限的梳理与整合,为相关研究者提供一定的借鉴和参考。

The advancement in generative artificial intelligence technologies,as illustrated by ChatGPT,signifies not only technological progress but also the emergence of novel themes and nuanced interpretations of longstanding issues,giving rise to a distinctive problematic domain.In 2023,scholars extensively deliberated on ChatGPT's applications,exploring its potential social ramifications,alterations in human-machine dynamics,shifts in living environments,and more.This led to in-depth exploration and reflection.Utilizing criteria such as topical freshness,theoretical innovation,and research depth,this paper distills six key themes from the pivotal journals of new media studies in 2023.These encompass the evolving relationships and interactions between humans and machines,novel mechanisms for knowledge production,intelligent machines,media objects(including technological and virtual entities),new media in rural settings,and the exploration of"short videos+live streaming."Despite the constraints of limited data,the paper categorizes and succinctly reviews these themes,aiming to provide a valuable reference for researchers in the field.
