Finding Metaphors for Human-AI Interactions
Broadly, my research is concerned with the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Arts. I am curious how AI augments, hinders, and challenges our conception of the creative process. Specifically I work with artists to devise new conceptual metaphors for AI in order to establish productive AI co-creative dynamics and interrogate AI's usage. I run workshops to prepare arts organizations for the increasing reach of Generative AI and help them find ways they can approrpiately resist or enlist AI in their work. I create new AI co-creative systems and installation artworks, run workshops, and perform ethnographic studies in order to explore this agenda.
My dissertation at the University of Toronto is concerned with how Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT will affect North American literature. Pulling from my background as a working literary novelist, I aim to understand how LLMs are changing reader's relationship with language, disrupting writer's of creative agency and ownership, and enabling the creation of new literary possibilities.
