Raluca Tanasescu
Raluca Tanasescu’s talk at the University of Salamanca examines how generative AI challenges inherited ideas of creativity, authorship and originality. Drawing on Translation Studies and computationally assembled poetry anthologies, Raluca argues that creativity under algorithmic conditions should be understood as a distributed process shaped by mediation, constraint, human judgment and machine recombination.
