Course Objective

This course deals with the basics of artificial intelligence (AI) and its thematization
in literature. After an introduction to the basic concepts and models of AI, the
representation and discussion of AI in literary texts will be addressed. Both
historical perspectives and current trends will be taken into account. The course aims
to analyze the representation of AI in literary works of the 20th, 21st and 22nd
centuries. In addition to media- and genre-specific narrative strategies, the
possibilities and limits of the staging of AI will also be examined. In a practical
session, participants will develop their own literary texts using AI tools.
