Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of a study of the dominant narratives about artificial intelligence (AI) in Bulgarian online media. Through content analysis, the study identifies key themes, sentiments, and framing techniques used by Bulgarian media during the period 1.02.-31.03.2025 when covering artificial intelligence. The results show that artificial intelligence is presented as a transformative technological advance, but also as a potential threat to society. Most of the narratives focus on innovation, economic potential, education, and global competitiveness, while issues such as ethical risks, data privacy, and workforce displacement receive relatively less attention.
