  1. Hey Siri, Tell Me a Story: AI, Procedural Generation, and Digital Narratives

    This paper examines a selection of examples of AI storytelling from film, games, and interactive fiction to imagine the future of AI authorship and to question the impetus behind this trend of replacing human authors with algorithmically generated narrative. Increasingly, we’re becoming familiarized with AI agents as they are integrated into our daily lives in the form of personified virtual assistants like Siri, Cortana, and Alexa. Recently, director Oscar Sharp and artist Ross Goodwin generated significant media buzz about two short films that they produced which were written by their AI screenwriter, who named himself Benjamin. Both Sunspring (2016) and It’s No Game (2017) were created by Goodwin’s long short-term memory (LSTM) AI that was trained on media content that included science fiction scripts and dialogue delivered by actor David Hasselhoff. It’s No Game offers an especially apt metacommentary on AI storytelling as it addresses the possibility of a writers strike and imagines that entertainment corporations opt out of union negotiations and instead replace their writers with AI authors.

  2. The reading abyss: narrative in times of Artificial Intelligence

    If orality constructed the myth and the listener, and the press produced the novel and the interpreter, this paper aims to discuss how digital tools based on the properties of Artificial Intelligence combined with narrative strategies will form simulations and transform the reader into a co-author. 

    I do not believe that the narrative of linear reading is going to disappear or that the book on paper is in the process of extinction, I believe that digital support, and sociocultural changes that entails, can lead to the formation of new literary genres and new creative and reading processes.
