Tomasz Hollanek, LCFI <th536@cam.ac.uk>

Researchers critical of the persistent 'AI hype' – driven by flashy headlines and corporate communications – have pointed to the harmful effects that misrepresentations of AI in the media might have on public perceptions about the technology. Your task is to create an automated monitor of AI hype content, based on a predetermined classification system of particularly problematic metaphors and comparisons common in news articles about AI that circulate on social media. Ideally, the AI Hype Monitor could be used as an add-on filter for chosen social media applications, flagging up problematic content and pointing users to sources that represent current AI capabilities more accurately and responsibly.
