It is focused on understanding the impact of large language models (LLMs) and AI on writing cultures during this pivotal moment in history, where all aspects of text creation and use are being transformed. We believe that a research-driven understanding of the role of text in this new technological environment is essential to maintaining human-centered control over the production and use of text. TEXT will be located in the Nobel Park at Aarhus University with proximity to other research centers such as the Center for Humanities Computing.The Center will take on and develop solutions for challenges confronting several academic disciplines and society at large: 1) What are the effects of GAI (Generative AI) on text culture, and how can we best assess their consequences? 2) How can research-based knowledge about GAI develop such technologies for text and their usage? 3) How can current limitations in GAI-based language generation be overcome to improve text culture in a digitized society? In essence: how can generative artificial intelligence become a common good for text culture? The Center is organized in four sections: 1) Creativity and Co-Creation 2) LLM Hard Assessment 3) Addressing LLM-hard problems in practice 4) LLMs in linguistic analysis and cognitive science.
