+[Literary History of Artificial Intelligence](https://literaryai.library.columbia.edu/) is
+a collaboration between the Columbia English Department, the Columbia University Rare Books &
+Manuscript Library, and Columbia University’s Digital Scholarship department.
+
+This exhibition explores the long, shared history of literature and computation through the
+Columbia Library’s holdings. We present texts that participate in early debates about
+whether writing was a skill to be honed or a gift to be appreciated and whether the skills
+of writing could be learned and even made into repeatable algorithms. Is writing like any
+other craft that can be learned and taught? Following a timeline from circa 1890–1970, this
+exhibition explores professional manuals, devices, and techniques that promised to make writing
+easier—and even to automate it. The Literary History of AI showcases examples of algorithmic
+composition, such as prose and poetry written by machines, alongside literature written with
+the aid of algorithmic and combinatorial devices. This exhibition broadly tracks two broad
+stories related to the literary history of AI: production and analysis.
