This thesis embarks on a journey to investigate the discourse contained within the policy documents examined by utilizing the topic modeling technique labeled Latent Dirichlet Allocation. The aforementioned investigation will be conducted through the theoretical lens of Systems Theory and Discourse Analysis Theory. The thesis aims to identify the core constituents, form a consensus and enrich the scientific communities’ understanding regarding how these core constituents alongside the discourse contained within the policy documents shape the overall landscape of AI governance in continental Europe. Furthermore, prior to an in depth investigation of the methods and theoretical frameworks mentioned above commences, an introduction is presented to give additional insight to the background of AI & the problem formulation. The results of this study reveal 8 inferred themes. These inferred themes are then thoroughly discussed in alignment with the principles and concepts set forth by the theoretical frameworks. The thesis then provides a conclusive penultimate subchapter that encapsulates the key points and directly addresses the research question before highlighting possible future research opportunities.

As the main research interest of this study one is able to highlight the issue of early- modern political thought, whose patterns have been analysed as protomodern grounds within the formative process of national identity. The thesis is based on the assumption that the political discourse of Polish aristocracy can be read as a specific part of European republicanism. Republican attributes are thus supposed to have stood for an essential core of Polish political culture at that time; core that was widely accepted by different political writers irrespective of their ideological distinctions. Hence, the study aims to prove that one is able to find the grounds of Polish "national" self-identification neither in ethnical nor in strict class traits, because concerning the question of identity, there was a crucial concept of a republic, closely linked to the peculiar values of liberty, equality and common good, which played a decisive role. In this regard, the thesis contradicts the traditional categories of Sarmatism or Sonderweg and instead of them, it introduces the concept of republican triangle as the hypothesis that is able to identify interdependence between political thought of that time and the image of Polish noble identity. Regarding methodological approaches, the study is based on the...
