About this talk
In this lecture, Lauren Goodlad, the editor of Critical AI, introduces generative AI and the rise of chatbots in light of their concentrated political economy, long history of anthropomorphized machine “intelligence,” and ongoing impact on the future of writing and human poiesis. Her talk addresses the near and potentially long-term horizon of how interdisciplinary practices that put "humanities in the loop" can create the conditions for a vibrant response—as educators, researchers, and citizens--to gen AI's multiple challenges.
