AI: The Next Frontier: Revisioning Written, Artistic, and Digital Landscapes
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of modern life. From fashion and art to political science and history, AI’s influence is reshaping the way we interact with the world around us. In the realms of writing and social media, AI offers new opportunities for content creation, while posing questions about authorship, originality, and ethics. Fashion designers are now using AI to predict trends, create unique designs, and streamline production. Artists employ AI to create cutting-edge digital works that blur the lines between human and machine creativity. Meanwhile, AI is making waves in political science, helping to predict voting trends and offering new insights into historical patterns. These changes present both challenges and opportunities across multiple disciplines, inviting deeper reflection on how AI can be integrated into our understanding of the future.
The Department of English, World Languages, and Philosophy, in conjunction with the 4th Annual BJT Interdisciplinary Symposium, is seeking proposals for scholarly conference papers, panel discussions, AI demonstrations, and creative presentations. We invite submissions from a variety of fields, including literature, fashion, art, history, political science, and social media. This year’s symposium aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogues that explore the profound ways AI is revisioning these fields and beyond. Presentations that combine theory and practice, as well as those that feature interactive or experiential components, are particularly encouraged.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- AI in creative writing: redefining authorship and originality
- AI-generated art and its implications for the future of artistic creation
- The role of AI in the fashion industry: design, production, and sustainability
- AI and its impact on social media algorithms and user experiences
- Historical analysis through AI: uncovering patterns in data
- Political science and AI: voter behavior prediction and policy analysis
- AI in education: new frontiers in teaching, learning, and accessibility
- Ethics in AI: responsible use, bias, and the future of AI governance
- AI and its influence on cultural heritage and digital archiving
- Interdisciplinary approaches to AI and the humanities
Send abstracts for scholarly conference papers (200-400 words) to Iris.Lancaster@tsu.edu on or before January 5, 2025. Notifications will be sent to all prospective speakers no later than February 1. 2023. The final program will be published in March 2023.
We look forward to your contributions as we explore the evolving role of AI in shaping the future of human expression.
