In light of this year’s conference theme of regeneration—with its emphasis on engagement, collaboration, and the creation of powerful new entities—this roundtable explores how the humanities might regenerate through human–AI collaboration. As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into writing studies and classroom practices, human–AI teaming models (Gupta & Shivers-McNair; McKee & Porter; Knowles & Pedersen; Beddington et al.) have shown potential for positive outcomes in writing pedagogy. At the same time, they raise critical questions about voice (Tan et al.; Grey), the complexity of teacher labor (Ghafouri et al.), and agency issue (Yang), prompting us to reflect on what it truly means to co-generate/create with a machine. As more institutions begin to require or encourage AI use in student work (e.g., OSU), we invite you to consider: How can we regenerate creativity, positivity, and humanistic values through this generative technology? How might AI function not merely as a tool, but as a partner in revitalizing learning, teaching, and scholarly inquiry?

This GSC-sponsored roundtable invites fellow graduate students to share their research, teaching practices, or personal reflections on how they are using generative AI to renew knowledge, energy, and engagement in their academic and everyday lives. We welcome discussion about both the possibilities and tensions of human–AI collaboration, and how such experiences may offer a renewed vision for the future of the digital humanities.

Possible discussion topics include, but are not limited to:

How do you collaborate with generative AI in your research or coursework? What have you learned from the experience?

• In what ways do you use generative AI in your teaching? How do you invite students to engage with these tools, and how do you frame these collaborations as acts of knowledge regeneration or something else?
• What are your views on institutional or disciplinary approaches to AI integration, and how might these shape the future of teaching and scholarship?
• In the context of AI, what strategies or methods have you found effective for facilitating human–AI or human–human collaboration that fosters regeneration in the classroom, research, or daily life?

This GSC-sponsored roundtable invites graduate students to explore how human–AI collaboration can regenerate creativity, knowledge, and engagement in research, teaching, and everyday academic life. As generative AI becomes increasingly present in writing and pedagogy, we ask: How might we approach AI for a more humanistic and innovative digital future?
