Özet:

Artificial intelligence is a new technology which uses the intelligence of human beings by the computers or any other related machines. It has also brought a new perspective to the field of communication which focuses on the interaction between human to human. With the use of artificial intelligence today, the artificial intelligence applications such as virtual agents or socialbots, create a different source of communication and therefore artificial intelligence is a new and emerging issue that should also be covered in the universities. The aim of this research is to present the importance given to the subject of artificial intelligence by the communication faculties of universities in Turkey.  In this context, the curricula and course contents of all communication faculties in Turkey will be examined with a content analysis within the scope of the study. Research will be carried out on whether the words "artificial intelligence", "data science", "data engineering" and the worlds that are related to the artificial intelligence which are “metaverse” and “virtual reality” are included in the course titles or in the content definitions of the courses. The research aims to make a new contribution to the field on how artificial intelligence, is processed in communication faculties in Turkey.
