As part of the series of scientific and cultural activities held by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and in its endeavor to enhance students' awareness of contemporary digital issues, and in the presence of the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Saeed Abu Khader, the Faculty organized a lecture entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Discourse Interaction", presented by Dr. Nart Qakhoun, Head of the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at the Faculty, in the Faculty meeting hall at the university.
Qakhoun explained the concept of discourse interaction and its analysis within philosophical dimensions, as a form of communication that relies on language and aims to exchange ideas, persuade, or build relationships, within multiple patterns, including humanizing dialogue and discussion.
He spoke about artificial intelligence, specifically the Chat GPT application, where he indicated that the application presented several models containing philosophical dimensions such as differentiating between masculine and feminine, using algorithms and dialogue tools, and rethinking, and presented his personal experience with (Ruaa) as a language engine and simulation of the Arabic language, with differences in style and suggestions, explaining that the discourse interaction between humans and machines is an arena for criminalizing meaning. He also touched on virtual simulation, explaining that discourse analysis has intellectual excitement, philosophical pauses, and daring reflections, as it is a relationship of discourse to discourse and a pattern that tests a pattern and reproduces ourselves through what we say and do not say.
He also pointed out that discourse interaction is a contemporary topic that combines technology and the humanities, especially in the fields of language, communication, and social impact, indicating that artificial intelligence technologies have become interacting with language in a way closer to human understanding and participation, explaining the relationship between artificial intelligence and discourse interaction, interaction with humans, and the existential philosophical dimension.
Qakhoun explained how artificial intelligence contributes to discourse interaction through understanding natural language, using text analysis techniques to understand the context and meaning to produce logical and sound responses, and generating language to create coherent discourse texts, such as writing articles, or dialogic responses, and discourse simulation.
Qakhoun concluded the lecture, which was attended by a number of faculty members and students of the Faculty, by answering the audience's questions and inquiries.
