Ai-ROM Conference 2023
Table of contents
1st International Conference on “Automated texts In the ROMance languages” (Ai-ROM)
Automated texts belong to a rapidly evolving field and have a high degree of disruptive power. From a technical standpoint, they are generated with new and increasingly sophisticated techniques, involving the use of algorithms and (soft) artificial intelligence. From a communicative perspective, they are in the process of revolutionizing the way texts are conceived, produced, distributed, and consumed. As they grow in number, improve in quality, and expand in variety, automated texts are set to become an important part of our lives over the next decade.
The 1st Ai-ROM Conference aims at bringing together researchers from all areas of Romance Linguistics and neighboring fields (Communication Science, Media and Journalism Studies, Computational Linguistics) to reflect on automated texts from a variety of perspectives: theoretical, descriptive, and practical. We understand ‘automated texts’ in a broad sense, including formats as diverse as texts generated by AI-powered smart agents, informally called “chatbots”, producing both written and/or oral outputs (e.g., ChatGPT, as well as “virtual assistants” such as Alexa, Siri etc.), template-based automated texts (A.I. Anchor, Gabriele, Tobi) automated neural machine translations (produced by DeepL, Google Translate etc.), and texts generated by writing assistants (e.g., rytr.me).
