Today on the podcast, we talk with Sarah M. Misemer, a professor in the Department of Hispanic Studies at Texas A&M. She has a new article out in South Central Review’s spectacular new special issue called “Worlds In Crisis.” Dr. Misemer’s article, "What a Bawd from the Renaissance Can Teach Us about AI: Celestina, Robots, and Free Will," takes a look back at a piece bawdy Spanish Renaissance literature, La Celestina by Fernando de Rojas, and considers what it has to say about human free will in the age of AI robots.
Dr. Misemer’s article will be free to read on Project MUSE through the end of August.
