AI + Writing

binary code

ChatGPT and other AI writing platforms are here, and higher education, like all sectors, must grapple with what these tools mean for how we do our work. The University Writing Program and the Writing Center are staying abreast of this conversation and sharing it with faculty and students across a number of contexts. We envision helping Homewood to develop best practices and policies; for now, we’ll share just two resources, drawn from the already-massive collection of op-eds, think pieces, blog posts, and more: 

  • The major professional organizations of Writing Studies and English Studies, the CCCC and MLA, have formed a joint task force to study the emerging landscape and make policy and practice recommendations for faculty and campuses. We can follow their progress here.
  • Anna Mills, of the City College of San Francisco, a leader in Writing Studies on AI and writing, offers even-handed analysis and practical teaching advice ready for immediate application.
