Having two writers whose opinions on AI differ greatly was intentional: while Ted sees AI as plagiarist, James's company Sudowrite uses it as a sparring partner for writers.
The MLA AI and Research Working Group's new "AI and the Humanities: A Framework for Language and Literary Scholarship" offers questions and case studies on AI literacy, human-centered expertise, and responsibility and ethics to guide discussion and reflection. mlaai.hcommons.org/ai-and-the-h...
- DigHum = computational methods applied to humanistic objects.
- Critical AI studies = critique of AI’s social, political, ethical, and cultural effects.
- AI ethics = norms, harms, values, governance.
- ArtHum = humanistic knowledge as a generative, interpretive, and design-facing method for AI.
