| dc.description.abstract | Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised concerns about the potential effects these technologies may have on society and the need for robust legal and regulatory frameworks to ensure responsible development. In this case, rhetoric is essential to building these frames. The search results show how industry associations and AI companies are using persuasive communication strategies to frame the "AI ethics" argument in a way that favors self-regulation over more legal authority. Oftentimes at the expense of addressing fundamental issues of accountability, bias, and human rights, rhetoric is being used to downplay the risks associated with AI systems and to promote a narrative of technological progress and advancement. However, advocates of more stringent legal frameworks to regulate the development and use of AI are utilizing language to back up politicians, legal experts, and civil society organizations. They are highlighting the flaws in industry-led "AI ethics" programs and advocating for the law and legal institutions to take a leading role in ensuring the moral application of these revolutionary technologies. The search results also demonstrate the impact of language on court cases and trials concerning the use of copyrighted information by generative AI models, which has significant implications for the evolving legal landscape. Additionally, studies have shown that the way artificial intelligence's "risks" and "benefits" are framed rhetorically can influence how the public perceives and embraces these technologies, which in turn influences how laws and policies are put into place. By examining the role of rhetoric in this context, academics can provide insight on the complex interplay between language, power, and the management of AI systems. With this information, policymakers can make better decisions and ensure that AI development complies with the law and social standards. | |
