About this event
A talk by members of the Department of English
“Artificial intelligence,” or AI, the ability of computational systems to simulate or perform tasks that humans do, is provoking reactions from excitement to confusion to outrage. What's behind, and ahead of, the hype and the fear? How do the ever-changing forms of AI affect the work of creative writers, literary scholars, and university instructors of literature and composition? Our panel features fully human English department members Ella Ophir, Ian Moy, Jeanette Lynes, and Tristan Taylor, chaired by Yin Liu.
Literature Matters: Literature in the Community is a free public lecture series sponsored by the University of Saskatchewan Department of English.
