Discussion
Reimagining Humanistic Pursuits in the Age of Generated Media
Event Summary
This roundtable brought together leading researchers from multiple disciplines (literature, linguistics, philosophy, sociology, computer science) to collectively identify the challenges generative models present to these fields of study and how our disciplines might inform their development and deployment. Three members of the project answered questions about their own research into AI and what the technology holds in store for the future of knowledge creation and discovery.
