Newcastle Discover webinar: AI in the classroom - The Creativity Engine

The Creativity Engine is an AI-driven web app, developed by Newcastle University academics and partners within the city, that leverages the hidden power of the archive to help young writers kickstart their creative writing. Seven Stories - the National Centre for Children’s Books - opened their valuable archive filled with drafts, proofs, and unpublished material to help young creatives in their battle against writer’s block. That archival material is used to fine-tune a text-generating artificial intelligence capable of opening up the possibilities for any story.
During this webinar, Tiago Sousa Garcia (Senior Research Software Engineer at Newcastle University) delved into the origins and the development of the Creativity Engine - how the idea came about, how it was implemented, and the challenges experienced.
