The advancement of artificial intelligence has introduced a new landscape in the field of communication, where AI is no longer merely a tool but is emerging as an interactional partner that shapes how humans think, feel, and build relationships within digital spaces. Nevertheless, AI remains not the center of communication, but rather part of an ecosystem that expands the dynamics of human communication. A comprehensive understanding of interaction, cognition, affect, and human relations with AI is therefore essential, one that must always be grounded in strong communication ethics. This specialization responds to that need, equipping students with the ability to manage human–AI communication critically, reflectively, and responsibly.
