I’ve been researching the impact of generative AI on creative writing and other creative disciplines since 2022. (To learn more about my own creative collaborations with generative AI, see A Grieving Machine.)


In collaboration with Jack Tsao, Associate Director of Common Core at the University of Hong Kong, I’ve published two papers. Find our research here:

Beyond the Author: AI, Creative Writing and Intellectual Emancipation, Poetics (paywalled but email me and I’ll share a copy)

Perceptions and Integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Creative Practices and Industries: A Scoping Review and Conceptual Model, AI&Society (open access)


I’m also the co-investigator of the Evaluating Generative AI Across Disciplines working group funded by the Research Institute of the Humanities here at CUHK. Our May 2025 symposium featured Sophia Goodfriend, Ellen Seiter, and Nishant Shah, among other researchers, and welcomed speakers from disciplines including law, philosophy, computer science, architecture, political science, cinema studies, and neuropsychology. We’ve hosted working lunches and talks by scholars in Hong Kong and beyond, including most recently Nina Beguš.


With Xuenan Cao (CUHK Cultural Studies), I’ve co-authored an article on Large Language Model Diversity Scoring and its implications for the Humanities. The paper is currently under review at Critical AI.


In collaboration with human-computer interaction researchers at the National University of Singapore and the City University of Hong Kong’s School of Creative Media, I’ve contributed to research on wearable AI glasses as a writing aid for fiction writers. That paper is currently under review at Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (IMWUT).
