The Perils and Possibilities of Using Generative AI in Indigenous Literary Studies
Presented by Jeff Berglund, Professor, Department of English
Students from Fall 2024 classes on post-Civil War American Literature and U.S. Multi-Ethnic Literature will join me to share their experiences using AI, specifically Co-Pilot, in units featuring Indigenous writers. Our discussion will focus on the best uses of AI we discovered as well as the limits and dangers of relying on AI-generated information with limited access to culturally sanctioned knowledge. Contributors: Jeff Berglund with Daniela Alfaro Alas, Andi Casten, Sydney Freeland, Kayla Garcia, Skye Kind, Lincoln Lambert, Taryn Toombs, and Paige Yaklin.
