Description
In this session, we explore the affordances of artificial intelligence and virtual reality technologies through a variety of critical lenses. Through new AI and VR technologies, we are able to talk with and through robots, at times altering logical patterns of communication. The three speakers in this presentation investigate the language practices of intelligent assistants, virtual reality platforms and robo-graders to understand how the humanities can accommodate, and sometimes push back against, smart machines.
