In/Humanizing Generative AI

How do we use AI as humans in language, place, and space? While conversations about Generative AI are often dehumanizing, framing the technology as either savior or existential threat, we invoke what Bruce Clarke (2017) calls the posthuman imaginary: "from some transformation of the human image." In/Humanizing Generative AI in the Liberatory Landscapes of UWT establishes an intellectually generative space bridging humanities, urban studies, and computational design. The project centers questions of what it means to be human across urban, cultural, digital, and ecological landscapes; and imagines spaces for liberation, learning, and belonging in an age of algorithmic mediation.
