Department of Special Collections and University Archives, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Nils John Nilsson Nils J. Nilsson, Kumagai Professor of Engineering (Emeritus) in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford in 1958. He spent twenty-three years at the Artificial Intelligence Center of SRI International working on statistical and neural-network approaches to pattern recognition, co-inventing the A* heuristic search algorithm and the STRIPS automatic planning system, directing work on the integrated mobile robot, SHAKEY, and collaborating in the development of the PROSPECTOR expert system. He has published five textbooks on artificial intelligence. Professor Nilsson returned to Stanford in 1985 as the Chairman of the Department of Computer Science, a position he held until August 1990. Besides teaching courses on artificial intelligence and on machine learning, he has conducted research on flexible robots that are able to react to dynamic worlds, plan courses of action, and learn from experience. Professor Nilsson served on the editorial boards of the journal Artificial Intelligence and of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research. He was an Area Editor for the Journal of the Association for Computing Machinery. He is a past-president and Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was a co-founder of Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Inc. Professor Nilsson is a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. He is a recipient of the IEEE "Neural-Network Pioneer" award, the IJCAI "Research Excellence" award, and the AAAI "Distinguished Service" award.

  • 1 Artificial Intelligence in Communication Management: A

    1 Artificial Intelligence in Communication Management: A

    Artificial Intelligence in Communication Management: A Cross-National Study on Adoption and Knowledge, Impact, Challenges, and Risks Abstract Purpose – Artificial intelligence (AI) might change the communications profession immensely, but the academic discourse is lacking an investigation of the perspective of practitioners on this. The article addresses this research gap. It offers a literature overview and reports about an empirical study on AI in communications, presenting first insights on how professionals in the field assess the technology. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative cross-national study among 2,689 European communication practitioners investigated four research questions: RQ1 – How much do professionals know about AI and to what extent are they already using AI technologies in their everyday lives? RQ2 – How do professionals rate the impact of AI on communication management? RQ3 – Which challenges do professionals identify for implementing AI in communication management? RQ4 – Which risks do they perceive? Findings – Communication professionals revealed a limited understanding of artificial intelligence, and expected the technology to impact the profession as a whole more than the way their organisations or themselves work. Lack of individual competencies, and organisations struggling with different levels of competency and unclear responsibilities were identified as key challenges and risks. Implications – The results highlight the need for communication managers to educate themselves and their teams about the technology, and to identify the implementation of artificial intelligence as a leadership issue. Originality/value – The article offers the first cross-national quantitative study on artificial intelligence in communication management. It presents valuable empirical insights on a trending topic in the discipline, highly relevant for both academics and practitioners.
