What is Cultural AI and the objects of its study? My paper addresses literary tools that can be borrowed to address cultural AI issues. The paper is on now ArXiv and forthcoming in Modern Fiction Studies in Spring 2027. arxiv.org/abs/2607.02369

- The essay proposes applying world literature methods — macrostructure, circulation, and untranslatability — to build culturally literate AI.
- The 15-page essay is forthcoming in MFS Modern Fiction Studies in 2027 and connects critical theory to structural monolingualism in AI.

An AI that builds coherent, rule-governed conlangs is now public—raising new ways to probe language structure and model behavior.
The International Conference on Computational Creativity is hosting an Artificial Humanities workshop on narratives and AI. computationalcreativity.net/iccc26/works...
We're excited to announce Artificial Humanities book series at the University of Exeter Press!💈 We invite book proposals that carry humanistic inquiry into the artificial, from ancient automata to contemporary AI and beyond. www.exeterpress.co.uk/collections/...

Recent commentary
Whenever I speak about other architectures than transformers, it becomes clear that the audience tends to think in terms of LLMs or just plainly about LLMs. They've taken all the head space.
The University of Kentucky researchers decoded otherwise unreadable Herculean scrolls using X-ray scans, machine learning, and knowledge of ancient Greek. The University is rightly proud of this achievement.... only to not offer the ancient Greek course due to low enrollment.
