The posts are based in English, Drama and Creative Studies at the University’s Edgbaston campus in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
The project investigates the historical and contemporary relationships between the arts and humanities, language, reading, machines, and artificial intelligence. Its historical strand examines the role of the arts and humanities in the development and analysis of AI, including networks of experimenters working with language, meaning, reading, and machines around the emergence of digital computing. Its contemporary strand studies how generative AI transforms linguistic reading practices and explores creative, communicative, and regulatory possibilities for future AI.
