I Am not a Robot: The Entangled Futures of A.I. and the Humanities

ByAlexa Alice Joubin March 27, 2023April 5, 2023

Generative Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) tools have the potential to alter profoundly the ways we work, create, think, and behave. They raise such questions as: What makes humans distinctive? Can machines have consciousness? What is intelligence? Are the methods used to create A.I. tools ethical? In this symposium, we hope to open a discussion on the philosophical, ethical, political, and cultural, challenges that A.I. poses for our society.

The Craft of Writing in the Age of AI

ByAlexa Alice Joubin March 7, 2024March 7, 2024

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