Call: The world’s very first fully AI-generated conference

[This call for papers was posted on Facebook by James Mackay on April 1. Although it’s not “real” (!), some version of an AI-generated conference certainly could provide interesting illustrations of media as social actor presence. –Matthew]

Announcing the world’s very first fully AI-generated conference – please consider submitting!

Submissions are invited for the world’s first fully AI conference in July 2023. This gathering intends to explore the potential of “artificially intelligent co-pilots” to increase the efficiency of academia by removing human academics from the process as much as possible.

Papers may be on any topic, in any discipline – in fact, rather than coming up with your own, we encourage you to ask ChatGPT4 or Bard to give you a list of suggestions in your field. The researcher should pick the best suggestion, and generate an abstract of 250 words on that topic.

The conference itself will be held virtually, with each participant responsible for generating a 15 minute presentation based on their abstract. Powerpoints and other visual aids may be used – these should naturally be generated by DALL-E according to prompts provided by ChatGPT. The papers themselves will be read using a text-to-speech programme, after which the original paper will be circulated. Researchers will feed the paper into their preferred AI in order to generate questions and encourage discussion between the chatbots. We anticipate that these conversations will be a little more lively than is usual at conferences, and across a broader range of topics!

Following an AI-only blind peer review and selection process, the revised papers will be published the following day in a scholarly volume (using Amazon’s Createspace program). No proofreading will be required thanks to the superiority of AI over weak human writing skills. This will be the first volume in what is intended to be an infinite series that will eventually cover all that can be known. No human input will be required beyond transferring the superior AI writing between different systems. Knowledge workers can finally relax and tend their gardens.

We welcome papers on any topic, including:

  • Philosophy
  • Electrical engineering
  • Psychology
  • Golf course management
  • Early Byzantine music
  • Physics
  • Economics
  • Other clever stuff of which humans will no longer need any detailed understanding

Please send abstracts to the conference organizer, James Mackay (European University Cyprus), by 1st April by following this link: https://tinyurl.com/yvkkxryt
