Workshop C-hub: Don't lose your voice! Writing in the age of AI

Workshop C-hub: Don't lose your voice! Writing in the age of AI (C209), 14:00-15:30

The integration of AI into academic writing presents both opportunities and challenges for sustaining authorial voice. While AI tools can aid in grammar correction, stylistic enhancement, and idea generation, they risk diluting personal voice through homogenized phrasing and over-standardization. The workshop aims to explore the ethics and implications of this state-of-affairs for academic writing and offer some practical approaches. Please register [link here ].
