[Air-L] CFP: AI & Culture — SWPACA 2026 Summer Salon Virtual — Deadline April 27, 2026

[Andrew Shi-hwa Chen]

Area Chair: Andrew Chen, PhD, Minnesota State University Moorhead,

General Call for Proposals:
The AI & Culture area welcomes proposals on all things related to
Artificial Intelligence.
Topics include, but are not limited to:

   - Scholarship done by, or with the assistance of, AI
   - AI as a cultural phenomenon, including scholarship about popular
   culture works that directly or indirectly treat AI as a subject matter
   - AI as a phenomenon that can impact culture
   - Creative works "by" AI, as well as critiques saying that such works
   are inherently not "creative"
   - Scholarship about any of those things mentioned so far
   - "AI perspectives" on any of those things mentioned so far

Important Considerations:

   - All perspectives regarding AI are welcome. We expect all participants,
   including those with opposing viewpoints ("AI advocate" and "AI resistant
   critic"), to be polite and civil towards each other.
   - Every presentation must have a human who claims responsibility for it,
   even if it is prepared primarily or exclusively by AI.
   - A human must present at the in-person conference, even if an AI is
   capable of doing so.
   - As AI becomes more capable, these rules are subject to change.
   - Humans are expected to engage in full disclosure about the extent to
   which AI contributed to the work and should be willing to engage in
   discussions about that.
   - Please note that as AI is impacting many areas, some proposals may be
   more suitable for other areas. Contact the Area Chair if you are uncertain.

Panel Submissions: The Area Chair welcomes thematically linked panel
submissions. Please contact the Area Chair to discuss potential panel ideas.
Interdisciplinary Approaches: We encourage interdisciplinary approaches
that explore the intersection of AI and various cultural domains.
