Digitally Curious ... AI and Poetry

<Insert robot sounds here>

I made a cool friend while training to be a Certified Listener Poet in 2025 (Shout out, Cohort 10!).

She's a poet and studies digital humanities -- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), machine learning, and the intersection of technology and creativity. We started a splinter writing group that meets weekly. to talk and write poetry for 60 minutes. It's like a nice glass of wine at the end of the week, except on Mondays.

One day we were talking AI, and she hipped me to some things. And I wrote about them. I also had a software client doing cool work with AI in the pharmaceutical industry, so the stars aligned digitally. Or the algorithm got me.

Anyway ...

Here's that blog for The Good Listening Project.

BTW (If you already know about TGLP, you can skip the rest of this):

TGLP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to humanizing healthcare through the healing power of poetry and compassionate presence.

TGLP and its Certified Listener Poets (CLPs) -- a legion 100 strong now -- help humans by using deep listening and poetry to support providers and caregivers, transform healthcare cultures, and equip a new generation of Listener Poets to carry on this work.

They are doing something amazing by bringing empathy, compassion, and in-the-moment caring to a transactional world that is our healthcare system.
