Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.
I agree! She seems like a great pick. Are we inviting her to give a keynote virtually or in person? Perhaps we can give her both options. Do we fund anything besides the workshop registration fees?
And let me accept the invitation now (had to collect a bed earlier)... Ori

Joe suggested Lydia Chilton of Columbia, who has published on multimodal AI for creative work and on AI humour generation.
I had a look at her web page https://www.engineering.columbia.edu/faculty-staff/directory/lydia-chilton and Google Scholar profile https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RpxD-7QAAAAJ and she seems like a good choice. I think she's only put out one paper on humour (on generating captions) but her other work on co-creation with generative AI seems relevant. If others agree, who would like to send her an invitation?
Regards, Tristan
