Sean Michaels: Giller Prize-Winning Novelist Comes to the University of Guelph to Discuss His Book, Do You Remember Being Born?
2025-02-25 19:00 - 20:30 | University of Guelph
CARE-AI is concerned about the negative impact of AI on creative fields, including creative writing. We invite you to our special evening event featuring author Sean Michaels. We are hoping this session will spur further thinking about the potential constructive use of AI in the creative writing process but also highlight the importance of appropriate compensation, copyright and protection for writers in a world with a serious risk of unauthorized use of their material for training AI models or being displaced by AI-generated content.
Author Event: Sean Michaels Discusses the Origin and Creation of his Novel Do You Remember Being Born?
In 2019, the Giller Prize-winning novelist had his first encounter with a different kind of AI. It was three years before the launch of ChatGPT, but he found himself beguiled, unsettled—and even a little compromised—by these early Large Language Models. He began working on a book exploring this disquiet, and imagining how a great poet might respond to such technology—a poet like the infamous Marianne Moore, in her cape and tricorn hat. The result, Do You Remember Being Born?, has been hailed by WIRED magazine as “the definitive novel about art in the age of AI,” and by the New York Times as “a jumping-off point for timeless meditations on art, family, connection and the meaning of a life.” On February 24, Sean visits the University of Guelph to discuss the book’s origin and its creation—which was undertaken partly, and in deliberate discomfort, with AI tools. In his talk, he will raise new questions about the serious challenges and surprising opportunities provoked by these discoveries, and force us to rethink what it can mean to “collaborate.”

English Language Speaking Series: Communicating Professors, Supervisors and Students
2025-02-11 13:00 - 14:20 | McLaughlin Library, 480 Gordon Street, Guelph, Ontario, Canada

Thinking Spaces: Andrew Goldman, “The Cognition of Musical Improvisation: Theories and Experiments”
2025-02-11 12:00 - 13:30 | MacKinnon Building, 87 Trent Lane, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Improvisation is a challenging topic to study using the theories and methods of cognitive science owing to the difficulty of defining it, and the diversity of improvisatory practices. I share my theoretical frameworks for engaging this challenge as well as the results from some behavioral and neuroscientific studies. Ultimately, I draw upon improvisation as a case study for exploring the difficulties of using science to understand music more generally.
More About the Presenter:
Andrew Goldman is a music theorist and cognitive scientist, and is currently Assistant Professor in Music Theory and Cognitive Science at Indiana University, where he also directs IU’s Music and Mind Lab. He received his PhD in 2015 at the Centre for Music and Science at the University of Cambridge. He was in the inaugural cohort of Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience at Columbia University, and also held a postdoctoral position with the Music, Cognition, and the Brain initiative at Western University before joining the faculty at Indiana University.
His research considers how we can (and cannot) use scientific methods to learn about musical perception and cognition in theory, and he also designs and conducts behavioral and neuroscientific experiments on music perception and cognition. Goldman’s research has focused on improvisation in music and dance, and more recent work has addressed the perception of musical form, melodic contour, metrical perception, and embodiment in music. His work has been published in both music and psychology journals, and has been presented at national and international conferences including the Society for Music Theory, the International Conference for Music Perception and Cognition, and the American Psychological Association. Goldman is also a pianist and composer. His original musical, “Science! The Musical” provides an alternate platform to explore the worlds of music and science. Musical numbers include “The Interdisciplinary Rag,” “The Real World,” “Publish or Perish,” and more!
