We define Artificial Intelligence-Mediated Communication (AI-MC) as interpersonal communication in which an intelligent agent operates on behalf of a communicator by modifying, augmenting, or generating messages to accomplish communication goals. The recent advent of AI-MC raises new questions about how technology may shape human communication and requires re-evaluation – and potentially expansion – of many of Computer-Mediated Communication’s (CMC) key theories, frameworks, and findings. A research agenda around AI-MC should consider the design of these technologies and the psychological, linguistic, relational, policy and ethical implications of introducing AI into human–human communication. This article aims to articulate such an agenda.

AI介导的沟通：定义，研究议程和道德考量

我们将人工智能介导的沟通（AI-MC）定义为人际沟通，其中智能代理通过修改，扩充或生成消息以实现沟通目标来代表沟通者进行操作。AI-MC的最新问世提出了有关技术如何影响人类交流的新问题，并要求对许多计算机媒介通信（CMC）的关键理论，框架和发现进行重新评估，并可能对其进行扩展。关于AI-MC的研究议程应考虑这些技术的设计，以及将AI引入人与人之间的交流的心理，语言，关系，政策和伦理意义。本文旨在阐明这样的议程。
