Abstract
This project examines sentiment surrounding mentions of artificial intelligence within news broadcasts of the three most prominent American news channels: FOX, CNN, and CNBC. Sentiment analysis was conducted on closed captioning data from news clips that mentioned “artificial intelligence” for each of the news channels from 2012 to 2024. This project seeks to evaluate sentiment as mentions of artificial intelligence increase and compare the respective sentiment for each news channel. While clear sentiment differences from the beginning of the time period to the end could not be determined, there was a difference in the overall sentiment trends for each news channel.
