This pre-conference will address questions, such as:

in the 21st Century?

intelligence and highly sophisticated technology?
3) What is the nature of trust and transparency in strategic 
communication between humans and machines?
4) What are the limits of machine-driven strategic communication?
5) How do we develop relationships with machines and bots?
6) Is all communication strategic between humans and machines?
7) How can artificial intelligence and automation ensure ethical and 
responsible strategic communication?

The pre-conference will address the challenges and opportunities for 
trans-disciplinary education and practice in communication, specifically 
strategic communication that is complicated by the contemporary rise of 
highly sophisticated technology and artificial intelligence. 
Communication scholars as well as scholars from other disciplines are 
invited to interrogate these questions from the perspective of 21st 
Century trans-disciplinary education and global, outcomes-based practice.

Members of all divisions and interest groups are invited to submit 
abstracts, and we particularly encourage submissions from members of 
*Instructional and Developmental Communication, Public Relations, 
Communication and Technology, and Human-machine Communication.*

Extended abstracts of 1500 words that respond to the above questions and 
themes must be submitted by*14 FEBRUARY 2020 to (tsetsura /at/ ou.edu)*. Spaces 
are limited to enable a robust discussion.

Cost: US$60. The budget for this pre-conference is based on a minimum of
