Abstract

Now that platforms have been added to the media system, they have enabled many foreign countries to develop advanced data analysis and AI. Through the lens of emotional publics, this paper examines how digital platforms promote overseas communication by analysing emotional expression, algorithmic curation, AI-generated content and platform governance. Platforms do not just spread information across borders; they also create the kind of emotions that are shown, the stories that are popular overseas, and how foreigners perceive them. The paper will also explore the opportunities and risks of applying artificial intelligence to foreign language communication, such as authenticity, division and emotional exhaustion, and put forward corresponding practice paths based on transparency, human judgment and inclusive narrative design.
