Curtis Runstedler, IRIS Researcher, presents his research about literaray narratives.
Literary AI narratives are helpful tools for negotiating issues of trust and distrust in human-robot interactions. They present storyworlds that point out our lack of confidence in AI and how we can learn to facilitate better models and approaches to trust. My presentation focuses on Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Klara and the Sun (2021) as an example. This narrative features an advanced AI model named Klara who, despite her compliant AI programming and obedience to her host family, is still met with distrust and sometimes indifference and hostility. In this presentation, I also outline various literary strategies for recognizing dis/trust in this narrative, including focalization, narratorial explanations, and dialogue exchanges, as well as the reader’s own thoughts and ideas that they bring to the text.
