The Conference’s Call for Papers states that “Whether they are ‘digital natives’ or ‘digital immigrants’, academicians are now facing – or participating in – an unprecedented phase of information technology with impacts on the current learning and teaching models and on methods of conducting and disseminating research. These implications and impacts of AI have also been felt in the context of institutions of Arts and Humanities in particular, thus bringing to the fore questions having to do with the manners in which literary and language disciplines are to cope now and later with this phenomenon which has become a tool offering opportunities but presenting challenges too.”
