The Department of Communication at Concordia University is a prestigious institution in the field of communication studies. In addition to the clear disciplinary links, Montreal and Concordia University offer direct access to the AI research community through the connection with the interdisciplinary Milieux Institute and the Applied AI Institute. The research stay thus aims to expand and perpetuate networking with researchers dealing with similar questions and problems in the context of AI and society, as well as to significantly increase the quality of the PhD project through exchange and feedback. The PhD project traces the discursive structures of the AI debate in the media and politics by combining the agenda-setting approach and the discursive power approach.
