The Craft of Writing in the Age of AI

Wednesday, April 3, 2024 from 12-1:30 pm in Phillips Hall 411 (Dean’s Conference Room)

How is AI changing the way we teach and practice writing?

     In this talk, entitled

“Words, words, words”: The Craft of Writing in the Age of AI

Alexa Alice Joubin (English and Digital Humanities Institute) and Kylie Quave (University Writing Program and Anthropology), will explore our society’s evolving relationship to written words and the future of the craft of writing.

     Generative AI tools stake claims to anonymized, collective authorship through machine-generated texts that are similar to patterns in the datasets they trained on. The notion of authorship faces new challenges of delineating the agency, knowability, and intentionality of written words.
