[Commlist] 6 fully funded PhD studentships in CreativeAI

The *CreativeAI studentships 
<https://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/funding/list-of-awards/creativeaistudentships/>* (2026-29) 
- fully-funded PhD studentships on cutting-edge creativeAI projects - 
will explore the rapidly evolving relationship between creativity and 
artificial intelligence (AI), considering what AI does for creativity 
and what creativity does for AI.
*Six supervisor-led interdisciplinary projects* bring together 
outstanding expertise by over 15 academic staff in arts, languages and 
cultures, computer science, social anthropology and law to address 
timely societal questions around AI’s impact on agency, authorship, 
imagination, inequality, and social relationships.
Studentships will be organised around three strands: AI for creativity, 
creativity for AI, and creativity of AI, supported by a methodological 
training theme, creative AI methods.
The Centre for Digital Humanities, Cultures and Media (DHCM) 
<https://www.digital-humanities.manchester.ac.uk/> will serve as the 
intellectual and organizational home of the CreativeAI studentships, 
with members already working at the intersection of AI, creativity, 
society, and culture.
