About
The Center for Rhetorical Science Communication Research on Artificial 
Intelligence (RHET AI) in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for 
Intelligent Systems Tübingen/Stuttgart (MPI-IS) is organizing an 
interdisciplinary symposium on the foundations, functionalities, and 
communicative implications of Generative AI. The symposium will take 
place on November 12–14, 2024, at the MPI-IS in Tübingen (Germany).

In Tübingen, we want to discuss and navigate expected changes in 
communication through the advent of generative AI. We aim to address 
interdisciplinary questions and problems about the influence of 
generative AI, its technical and communicative parameters, and possible 
societal developments. The event will emphasize the role of generative 
AI as a bridge between theory and practice in AI research and the 
humanities.

To achieve this, we aim to bring together researchers from a diverse set 
of disciplines such as machine learning, cognitive science, philosophy 
of language, rhetoric, linguistics, and media studies with experts from 
journalism, culture and science communication.

Key topics
- The creation of realities
- Problems of persuasion
- AI’s worldview and ethics
- Developing a promptology
- Generative AI’s influence on science communication
- Generative AI and public discourse

Other topics regarding the intersections of Machine Learning and 
Communication, Rhetoric and Generative AI are welcome.

Abstracts

with submissions for one of two formats, individual papers (30 min
