Critical AI Literacy for Reading, Writing, and Languages

FAIN: HC-297027-23

MLA (New York, NY 10004-2434)
Angela Gibson (Project Director: August 2023 to present)

In partnership with the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), the MLA will hold a two-day convening with key stakeholders to discuss Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on reading, writing, and languages.

The Modern Language Association (MLA) seeks $30,000 from the NEH in support of a two-day convening that would gather key stakeholders at the crucial intersection of reading, writing, and languages. The meeting will advance essential steps in building a humanities-driven intervention to address the impact of generative AI through a framework for critical AI literacy.
