We are excited to present to you three incredible Keynote speakers who represent different humanities disciplines, who are all studying, questioning, and challenging artificial intelligence from their unique perspectives. Emily M. Bender, Amy Kurzweil, Matthew Salzano, and Lillian-Yvonne Bertram will help us understand how large language processing impacts how we think about language, how we think about human creativity, and how we confront the dangers and the ethical struggles that generative AI has presented. Join us for each keynote on the days and times below. For full bios, please click on our speakers’ names.
