May 6, 2026CreativeAI Studentships
The CreativeAI studentships (2026-29) will explore the rapidly evolving relationship between creativity and artificial intelligence (AI), considering what AI does for creativity and what creativity does for AI.
Six supervisor-led interdisciplinary projects bring together outstanding expertise by over 15 academic staff in arts, languages and cultures,computer science, social anthropology and law to address timely societal questions around AI’s impact on agency, authorship, imagination, inequality, and social relationships.
Studentships will be organized around three strands: AI for creativity, creativity for AI, and creativity of AI, supported by a methodological training theme, creative AI methods.
The Centre for Digital Humanities, Cultures and Media (DHCM) will serve as the intellectual and organizational home of the CreativeAI studentships, with members already working at the intersection of AI, creativity, society, and culture.
