The Pleasures of Reading in the Age of AI - Tyler Shores

The talk was delivered on 4th Februrary 2026 by Tyler Shores, as part of the DIS research seminars series. Summary: AI is increasingly becoming an integrated layer within contemporary reading ecosystems—not only through chatbots, but through the everyday tools and platforms where reading occurs, and through the shifting practices and assumptions that shape how reading is undertaken and understood. Rather than revisiting familiar narratives about the decline of print, this talk foregrounds an emerging ecosystem shift: one in which the attention economy already makes slow, immersive reading structurally difficult, while AI simultaneously offers increasingly compelling ways to outsource aspects of reading and interpretation. The session considers how AI can function as a thinking partner across different kinds of texts, the role of pleasure and immersion in online reading, and what may be gained—or lost—when AI becomes embedded in the act of reading itself.
