About this Event

Tinkering with a narratology sidekick for storytelling with the writers’ community


Reflections on the use of generative Artificial Intelligence in HE, supported by ARU's Centre for Innovation in Higher Education. In-person event in Cambridge.

In this creative writing workshop Dr Piotr Mirowski (Google Deepmind Researcher) will present Fabula (https://deepmind.google.com/frontiers/fabula), an interactive app for fiction writers built on top of the Gemini language model. Fabula uses detailed narrative plans informed by general narratological theory. Stories are structured hierarchically into scenes and beats, which can in turn be (re)generated and revised at script and story plan level. Using participatory AI, we have been critically evaluating Fabula with writers, employing Fabula as an artefact in critical design. In this workshop, participants are invited to try Fabula as a tool for ideation, feedback on their current work, and interactive storytelling, and to share potentials and concerns about AI tools for writing.


Dr Piotr Mirowski is a Senior Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind and a Visiting Researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London. Piotr's research on artificial intelligence has covered reinforcement learning, navigation, weather forecasting, human-machine interaction and computational creativity. Piotr obtained his PhD in computer science in 2011 at New York University supervised by Prof. Yann LeCun (Outstanding Dissertation Award, 2011). Piotr founded and is the director of Improbotics, a theatre company that pioneered live improvised comedy with robots in 2016.
