Episode 89: Uche Ogbuji on AI and Creativity


Listen Later

Artificial intelligence is affecting creative industries–for instance Hollywood screenwriters–and frustrating creative writing instructors with papers turned in composed by ChatGPT. How dangers is AI to creative careers? Can it be helpful? How do we move forward in a world where human creativity and technology work together? What is the creative’s role in building a bridge between AI and the rest of the community? Is AI creative? Should we be scared? Our conversation with poet and engineer Uche Ogbuji gives context for the AI explosion and offers long term perspective. 

Uche Ogbuji, more fully Úchèńnà Ogbújí, is a poet, spoken word performer, composer and DJ. His chapbook, Ndewo, Colorado  (Aldrich Press, USA, 2013), won a Colorado Book Award and a Westword Award winner (“Best Environmental Poetry”). Uche's work fuses Igbo culture, European classicism, American Mountain West setting, Hip-Hop and afrofuturism. He is a 2022 Boulder County Arts Fellow for Literature and Music, and serves on the board of the Colorado Poets Center. Former stints include editor at Kin Poetry Journal and The Nervous Breakdown.
