AI case study: My Child, the Algorithm

This summer, Hannah Silva published My Child, the Algorithm: a memoir of queer single parenting told through conversations between the author, her toddler and a predecessor of ChatGPT. In this in-depth session Silva, computational linguist James Carney and Sujoy Roy from Footnote Press discuss the surprises, joys and challenges of writing in collaboration with AI, before opening the discussion to the audience to explore reader attitudes, author anxieties, and other potential creative opportunities that generative AI offers.
