AI and Intercultural Communication

Students will be trained to make effective and ethical use of various AI technologies for intercultural communication tasks including translation, language teaching, transnational marketing communications, and game localisation. Through lectures, discussions, critical readings, and case studies, students will engage with key theories and debates underpinning AI-enhanced intercultural communication in three areas: (1) the basic mechanism of AI technologies, (2) the affordances and limitations of AI technologies in intercultural contexts, and (3) the legal and ethical risks incurred by AI use.
