Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood discusses how her novel The Handmaid’s Tale reflects current issues like book bans, erosion of women’s rights, and censorship in the U.S. She highlights concerns over Donald Trump’s presidency and the rollback of reproductive rights, including her symbolic act of burning an 'unburnable' edition of her book.

Margaret Atwood criticized AI during an interview at the Babell Literary and Cultural Festival, expressing disappointment after using Anthropic's Claude chatbot to find information about the British detective series Father Brown. She argued that AI's inaccuracies stem from being a 'large language model' without human understanding.
