ICYMI: [A]I Heart You
On February 10, the DH Center hosted an interactive AI generated Valentine’s Day event in collaboration with the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy, the Data Science Institute, the Vanderbilt Center for Languages, and the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities.
The event was a great success and generated great discussion, handmade valentines, and temporary tattoos—and featured the work of Vanderbilt poets Cara Dees, Didi Jackson, and Rick Hilles.
