2022 Margaret Dalziel Lecture
Artificial intelligence, as a set of cultural techniques, is facilitating profound institutional and epistemic transformations that are still only partly understood.
This year's Margaret Dalziel Lecture uses the emerging subfield of "Critical AI" as a frame for thinking through literary and artistic engagements with machine learning, particularly in the domain of natural language generation, that both reflect and respond to our new sociotechnical condition.
