Generative AI has upended ways of visualizing, reading, and interpreting texts, whether in makerspaces, on publishing platforms, or on college campuses. The use of generative AI raises questions about authorship, copyright, authenticity, originality, and integrity—all critical matters that lie at the heart of Adaptation Studies scholarship. This roundtable, scheduled to meet at the South Atlantic Modern Language Association conference in Jacksonville, Florida, between 15 and 17 November 2024, aims to solicit submissions on the ways that generative AI is changing the landscape of literary adaptation, as well as the problems and possibilities inherent in the use of generative AI platforms (ChatGPT, Bing, Dall-E2, Synthesia, etc) in both teaching and research. Topics may include:

• The incorporation of generative AI tools and/or AI-authored content into adaptations 
• AI-driven research in Adaptation Studies (e.g. text or image analysis) 
• Pedagogical applications of generative AI in the Adaptations Studies classroom 
• Ethical considerations when employing AI in teaching and/or research 

Papers will be short (max. 10-minute) contributions to leave plenty of time for discussion. Please send 250-word abstract to Beth Coggeshall (ecoggeshall@fsu.edu). For more information about SAMLA, please see https://southatlanticmla.org/.
