AI and Refusal

  • Poster Heading

Join us for a group discussion about the humanities and AI. This seminar explores current humanities-based inquiry into AI: What different technologies share the label 'AI'? How does the history of its development and financing affect what AI does and for whom it's useful? What questions and methods are humanities scholars currently applying in their analyses of AI? What particular challenges do we face as humanities scholars thinking about AI?

Guest panelists Jennifer Rhee (English, Virginia Commonwealth University, on AI and visions of humanness) and Kris Paulsen (History of Art, Ohio State University, on intersections of Art and AI)
