The English+AI Fellowship

The future of the knowledge economy belongs to the editors. We train SUNY Fredonia English majors to govern synthetic labor and become strategic “Humans-in-the Loop” for organizations in fields like high-tech, biotech, healthcare, financial services, higher education, and the arts. For more about what’s behind the new demand for those with literary educations, download our white paper: “How AI Saved the English Major”.
