Artificial Intelligence (AI) with its large language models is influencing how we write. However, AI isn鈥檛 the first technology or media to influence how we write, nor to offer us ways to study how people write.
This public lecture will consider what is involved in writing, what factors affect how we write, and how technology provides researchers insights about how we write. The lecture will approach these areas and illustrate them with the writing processes of a range of first and second language writers, writers of various ages, and with individuals with additional learning needs. How writers approach the Welsh mutation system will be briefly considered as will how the computer tools used to capture data for writing might also be useful for the study of mathematics anxiety.
The lecture will end by asking how AI can be used in teaching to reduce the use of AI as a part of the writing process.
