Platform Logic: Understanding the Influence of AI on Information Dissemination Mechanisms of Chinese New Media Platforms

Abstract

The development of technologies in the field of artificial intelligence is redefining the modes of information dissemination. However, it is hard to understand its influence from the perspective of the platform alone. Based on "platform logic"defined by José van Dijck, this article analyzes information dissemination from perspectives of underlayer platform, mid-layer monitoring, and upper-layer application and explores the influence of artificial intelligence and the changes in the patterns of information dissemination of Chinese new media platforms. In this paper, CiteSpace software is used to analyze the literature on artificial intelligence information dissemination on CNKI and the development trend of artificial intelligence information dissemination is summarized and discussed.
