This study by the mainstream media in China and the United States,the People's Daily and the New York times reports on issues of artificial intelligence as the research object,based on the theory and phil goff man framework krogh's theory of critical discourse analysis(CAD)as a research perspective,from text,discourse practice,social and cultural practice three levels,the two mainstream media in2011-2019 of 526 report diachronic discourse analysis.First,at the text level,through the statistical number of mainstream media coverage of China and the United States,reports attitude,source distribution,and source,characteristics and analyze its change trend,to the two media of artificial intelligence reports on the integrity of the macro analysis,the study found that both the People's Daily and in the New York times reports there are significant events in the history of the changes of the number of guide characteristic;In terms of reporting attitude,People's Daily is optimistic year by year,while New York Times is conservative year by year.In terms of information source layout,the media of both countries attach more importance to the industry and academia.The scholars and experts of The New York Times take a more critical attitude,while the experts and scholars of People's Daily take a more optimistic attitude.In terms of discourse practice,this paper analyzes the framing strategies of Chinese and American mainstream media through coding.It finds that in terms of technology,People's Daily focuses on the logic of "social development",while New York Times focuses on the logic of "economic development".People's Daily has a global vision,while New York Times focuses on local technology development.And the risk management framework is the biggest difference between the two mainstream media,People's Daily prefers to dilute the risk,while New York Times prefers to magnify the risk.At the same time,this paper also analyzes the diachronic competition between the mainstream media reporting frames in the two countries.Through high-frequency vocabulary analysis and semantic network analysis,it can be seen that People's Daily's discourse rhetoric construction of artificial intelligence is based on an optimistic close-up imagination,while New York Times is based on the singularity rhetoric of distant imagination,and constructs a warning discourse for the future artificial intelligence.In the aspect of social and cultural practices,this article mainly combined with the two countries on real practice,the concept of media,artificial intelligence,go deep into the cultural,political,the mainstream media to explore the mechanism of different countries in the spread of this emerging technology of artificial intelligence how to scientific and technological progress and risk of tension and its logic behind the risk production.In general,the symbolic discourse of artificial intelligence technology in the two mainstream media presents its different "social technology imagination",which makes it present different risk processing logic.And finally this paper want to emphasize is we can't simply to use the logic of the classical risk society theory to study the various risks in the Chinese society and by resorting to the risk of Douglas cultural theory,the revelation we need to further the cultural background of different countries,different regions and political differences to the perspective of its risk production logic,otherwise we are hard to avoid to cover the causes and effect of different social risks phenomenon logic.
