Canadian author Margaret Atwood, now 84, recently discussed her writing career and views on artificial intelligence (AI) in an interview in Denmark, where she received the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award. Atwood reassured her audience that she is not concerned about AI’s growing influence in creative fields, even though younger generations may worry about it. Since beginning her career with her first poetry collection in 1961 and her first novel, “The Edible Woman,” in 1969, Atwood has published over 60 works, including novels, children’s books, and essays. She loves writing, and this joy is reflected in her extensive output. After reviewing AI-generated writing in her name last year, Atwood described it as “really bad,” highlighting the technology’s limitations, especially in poetry and fiction. While younger artists, like graphic designers, might feel anxious about AI’s potential, Atwood feels relaxed. She believes AI cannot convincingly replicate human creativity. Her famous dystopian novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has gained renewed interest since Donald Trump’s election in 2016, resulting in increased sales and a sequel, “The Testaments,” in 2019. Atwood is currently writing a memoir, humorously planning to include both minor mishaps and major challenges.
