This past year, the Center for Digital Humanities celebrated its tenth anniversary with the theme “Humanities for AI.” Through this series of events, projects, and conversations, we explored how humanistic values and approaches are crucial to developing, using, and interpreting the field of AI. As part of this initiative, we were thrilled to welcome award-winning writer Ted Chiang to Princeton on March 18 to present his talk “The Incompatibilities Between Generative AI and Art” with support from the AI Lab, Humanities Initiative, and Princeton Public Library. In this talk, he expanded on points from his essay “Why A.I. Isn’t Going to Make Art” in The New Yorker (August 2024).
