In "THE LIFECYCLE OF WRITING SUBJECTS: On Generative AI and the Future of Writing," Lauren M.E. Goodlad (Distinguished Professor at Rutgers) introduces generative AI in light of its concentrated political economy, long history of anthropomorphized machine “intelligence,” and ongoing impact on the future of writing and human poiesis. Ideal for interdisciplinary audiences and conversation, Goodlad’s approach centers "humanities in the loop."
