The Creativity and Co-Creation part of TEXT: Center for Contemporary Cultures of Text is busy at work on multiple projects! See descriptions on the link below, from authorship and fanfic to AI architectures and AI use surveys.

- Måske vil AI tvinge os til at gentænke, hvad det præcis er, vi skal gøre med kunsten, hvad det er for en impuls, som kendetegner det unikke menneskelige. @madsrt , DG-centret TEXT, i interview om AI’s indflydelse på vores skrivekultur. pov.international/interview-menn…

Hvad sker der med vores læseevner i en verden, hvor AI er blevet en fast del af hverdagen? @madsrt, leder af Center for Contemporary Cultures of Text, er medforfatter på kronik i Kristeligt Dagblad👇🔒 kristeligt-dagblad.dk/debat/professo…

Switched platforms from Medium to Sub...stack. Starting with a summary of yesterday's talk on biohacking:

The Journal of World Literature is accepting abstracts for a special issue on Artificial Intelligence and World Literature. Topics include multilingualism & AI, distant reading, non-English case studies, and more. Submit your abstract to our emails by September 1.

Cover by Agnieszka Kurant Featuring my Introduction: Navigating a New Topos and essays by the amazing writers - Allison Parrish, Language Models and Desire: A Lexicon - Ted Chiang, Why AI Won’t Make Art Easy to Make - Annelyse Gelman, The Death of the Death of the Author 1/3

A great and engaged review of Artificial Humanities by AI developer: "What lifts the book into something genuinely energizing is its refusal to stop at diagnosis. Artificial humanities is proposed not as a critique perched safely on the sidelines but as an operating principle."

In her new book, UC Berkeley researcher Nina Beguš explores how art, history and literature provide a window into AI development, revealing a hopeful — and cautionary — path forward for humanity. news.berkeley.edu/2025/12/01/how…

The winner of Publisher of the Year (sponsored by @worldofbookshq) is @BloomsburyBooks ✨ “You can feel the energy and passion in everything it does," said the judges #Nibbies #BritishBookAwards

Leveraging her background in comparative literature and knowledge of generative AI, @BerkeleyISchool and @UCBHistory's Nina Beguš pitted hundreds of humans against generative AI platforms. Humans wrote more creative stories, but AI is advancing — quickly. news.berkeley.edu/2024/10/28/don…

@moltke @NannaInie @Olefrank I kunne tage fat i vicecenterleder @RebekahBaglini. Tak for et fint program i øvrigt.

@NannaInie @Olefrank @madsrt Tro mig, Nanna, vi går ofte en ekstra mil eller tre for at ændre på det. Byd gerne ind med kroge og forslag til kilder.

Skal vi have robotter som konfliktmæglere i fremtiden? Romaner skrevet af AI? Vi spørger prof. i filosofi Johanna Seibt og prof. i litteraturhistorie @madsrt. #Podcast af @DetUngeAkademi og VidenSkaber, med støtte fra @Carlsbergfondet, @lundbeckfonden og @novonordiskfond

SmukScience? Eller forskning til festivalfolket om hvordan man måler lyset hastighed - i øl! 🎓🍻 Til @Smukfest var der fuldt program i en Science Pavillion med fascinerende og underholdende forskning. Mød Ulrik Uggerhøj, Mads Rosendahl Thomsen, Peter Hald og Jens Chr Bjerring👇🏻

Forskningen er i den grad til stede på årets @Smukfest med Science Pavilion, der er arrangeret af @CERN. I dag har publikum oplevet kemishow med Peter Hald + Ulrik Uggerhøj også fra Kemi, der viste måling af lysets hastighed i øl, og Mads R. Thomsen fra Litteratur om AI & Tekst.

@MushtaqBilalPhD Great thread. Transportation: biking is also very different. Approx 40-45 % of all transportation in Copenhagen is by bike (in hilly Aarhus a little less).

16. Public Transport 🇺🇸The US was built for cars. I love driving in the US. You need to have a car if you want to go from point A to B. You can understand the centrality of driving in American culture and the most common form of identification is one’s driver’s license. Public transport doesn’t seem like an American priority. Probably it has something to do with American individualism. 🇩🇰Danes take their public transport very seriously. My language trainer told me she’d only vote for the candidate the promises more trains and better trains. Denmark has great intercity trains equipped with free Wi-Fi and decently clean restrooms. Danish trains are quite punctual although not as punctual as Swiss trains. Within cities, there are trams and metros that easily accessible.

I lived in the US 🇺🇸 for several years and now I live in Denmark 🇩🇰 Here's a comparison of the two countries (based on my experiences): 1. Entering the country 🇺🇸 If you are a brown man like me, chances are you will be selected for "random screening.”

@askerhboye Rigtig god bedring.

I look forward to @ulf_db and Ea Lindhardt Overgaard's online @clai_aarhusuni talk on disciplinary voice and generative AI at 1.30 pm later today: cc.au.dk/en/clai/events….

Lindsay Weinberg gives a @clai_aarhusuni short talk on "AI and the Politics of Refusal" April 18 at 1.30 pm CET: cc.au.dk/en/clai/events…

"William Banks does not try to oversell Brandes’s influence or contribution but shows how Brandes develops his thinking...from concrete conflicts." Mads Rosendahl Thomsen on Georg Brandes's Human Rights and Oppressed Peoples, from @UWiscPress: criticalinquiry.uchicago.edu/mads_rosendahl…

On February 7, @mads Rosendahl Thomsen, @Rebekah Baglini and Kasper Fyhn Borg hosted a visit from VIA University College's International film program to present on the state-of-the-art of Large Language Models, and on AI and creativity. An intense morning with engaged students!
