Complicated and Complicating Questions About the Role of AI in Qualitative Inquiry

Wed, April 8, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, Floor: 5th Floor, Echo Park

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

While questions about how using AI might support qualitative research now dominate the conversation around AI and qualitative research, in this symposium, we suggest there are other questions that are critical to ask prior to considering what AI affords us--questions related to both the value and (perhaps unintentional) consequences of using AI in research activities. The papers in this symposium take up those questions from a variety of perspectives, including its ecological impact and methodological footprint, the potential produced by the monstrous blurring of human and AI, the creation of a more-than-human ethics, the tension between embracing innovation and preserving the pursuit of meaning, and the importance of reaffirming relational practices in qualitative research.
