As artificial intelligence becomes ubiquitous, artists and writers are creating their own guiding principles for where and how they use the technology in their creative practices and their work.

Tracy Hoagland is the chair of the Portland chapter of Willamette Writers, and by day, she works in the tech industry with AI. She says she doesn’t use AI in her writing practice, but has to consciously separate the two areas of her life. Jessie Kwak is an author and ghost writer based in Portland, who uses AI to supplement their writing work. They both join us to discuss their own ethos around AI in the world of creative writing.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
