Leaders from Tech, Higher Education, and Art Talk Creativity in the Age of ChatGPT October 3

August 16, 2023

Free panel discussion
Tuesday, October 3, 6:00-7:30 pm at Princeton Public Library

On October 3, the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, the National Humanities Center, and Princeton Public Library will co-host “Creativity in the Age of ChatGPT,” a panel conversation on the AI chatbot that has kindled imaginations and stoked debate since it was launched by OpenAI in November 2022. The event will use a public humanities lens to explore how ChatGPT, and generative AI more broadly, will alter how we define, understand, and practice creativity in the future.

Rishi Jaitly, Princeton University alumnus and former Trustee, former executive at Twitter, Google, and YouTube, and current Distinguished Fellow at Virginia Tech’s Center for Humanities, will serve as moderator. The panel features eminent and diverse voices from the worlds of art, tech, and higher education, including:

  • Min Li Chan, Essayist, Technologist, Alphabet/Google alum
  • Edward Jones-Imhotep, Director, Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, University of Toronto
  • Helena Sarin, Engineering Artist

“This panel will usefully ground conversation about ChatGPT in the public humanities, situating these new AI technologies in the human contexts—creative, social, and historical—that will in fact shape their uses and impacts,” observes Carin Berkowitz, PhD, executive director of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities. “As a space that aims to spark intellectual curiosity and to bring diverse audiences together, Princeton Public Library is the ideal site for such a discussion.”

“The rapid adoption of AI technologies has the potential to dramatically alter our lives in innumerable ways,” says Robert D. Newman, president and director of the National Humanities Center. “For several years the NHC has helped organize and focus humanities scholarship and teaching on issues surrounding artificial intelligence. We are delighted to be partnering with our colleagues at the New Jersey Council for the Humanities to highlight the essential role the humanities must play as we come to terms with their tremendous potential.”

Following the panel, light refreshments will be provided and there will be opportunities to talk informally with the program participants.
