Generative AI: creativity and modelling

The international seminar ARCANES "Artificial Intelligence and Narrative Practices" will host Bruno Bachimont (UTC) and Marcello Vitali-Rosatti (UdeM) for a session titled "Generative AI: Creativity and Modeling."

The seminar aims to examine how artificial intelligence is narrated, staged, interpreted, and appropriated through a variety of narratives, focusing both on emerging narrative forms (generative AI, assisted writing, editorial devices, performances, speculative fiction) and on the social, political, ethical, and cultural issues they raise.

The full seminar program is available at the following link.
