SAIX Peers Forum on Human–AI Collaboration

Sogang University held its January brown-bag meeting of SAIX Peers (Sogang AIX Peers), an interdisciplinary research forum connecting scholars across artificial intelligence, humanities, and social sciences. The session featured Professor Yoonseok Heo from the Division of English, who presented research on human–AI collaboration in creative writing.

Professor Huh examined how humans and artificial intelligence can interact through staged collaborative processes in literary creation. By comparing the narrative arcs of AI-generated fiction with human-authored works, he analysed the current limitations of AI in storytelling, including difficulties in constructing tension and complex narrative structures.

Building on these findings, he proposed directions for developing AI models specialised in creative writing through interdisciplinary collaboration. He emphasised that computer science research could focus on algorithmic modelling of narrative structures, while humanities scholars could contribute by constructing high-quality literary datasets essential for improving model performance. He also introduced the concept of “LLM-as-a-Judge,” highlighting the need for AI-based evaluation frameworks capable of assessing creativity and narrative coherence beyond surface-level linguistic patterns.

During the discussion session, participants shared broader challenges in AI-driven creative research, including copyright constraints on training data and the resulting limitations in model performance. The dialogue further expanded to potential educational applications of AI-based evaluation systems.

SAIX Peers was launched in November 2025 as part of Sogang University’s “AI Driven University” vision. Through regular forums and interdisciplinary exchanges, the initiative aims to foster collaborative research and deepen academic understanding of the ethical, cultural, and technological implications of artificial intelligence.
