Workshop: Writing about AI for general audiences

Artificial Intelligence promises to disrupt industries and change professions. The scale and scope of those possible changes touch almost every field—well beyond computing. Scholars have an opportunity to help people make sense of the threats and opportunities AI presents. The appetite for insights about AI is enormous, but the advice on offer to professionals, parents, citizens, and other individuals who stand to be impacted by AI is limited; instead, celebration or calamity rule. How can Arts & Sciences faculty help?

This workshop will be run by Ian Bogost, co-director of the Program in Public Scholarship and a contributing writer at The Atlantic who frequently writes about technology and AI. Participants will be guided through the process of writing short pieces on how AI is transforming their field of study and the industries or practices they touch, with an eye toward submitting this work to public-facing outlets. 

Pastries and coffee provided.
