Sentient Books (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994159408)

As artificial intelligence reshapes textual and artistic production, the academic community faces an existential query: In an age where algorithms craft narratives, what becomes of human authorship? Sentient Books is an essential scholarly compass for this revolution. Moving beyond theoretical speculation, this interdisciplinary collection offers rigorous empirical investigations into AI as both collaborator and threat. International contributors from literature, law, linguistics, and theater dissect the deceptive nature of algorithmic recombination, challenging established concepts of originality, intellectual property, and pedagogy. The volume explores how judgment-based creation is replacing skill-based artistry, providing a critical framework for educators and creators. It argues for a future where technology amplifies rather than annihilates human agency. Sentient Books is not merely a diagnosis of disruption, but an urgent manifesto for preserving the serendipity and vulnerability that define authentic culture. An indispensable resource for navigating the future of the humanities.
