The Role of Literary Criticism in Modern AI Interpretation
July 20, 2025
What can literary criticism teach us about AI?
Quite a lot. From formalist analysis to post-structuralist critique, the tools used to interpret texts can help us scrutinize the ‘black box’ of machine learning models.
In this post, we reflect on:
- Structuralism and pattern-seeking in model outputs
- Post-colonial critique and dataset bias
- Reader-response theory as human-AI feedback loop
InterXAI builds on these insights to champion explanation methods that aren’t just technical—but thoughtful, situated, and critical.
