Dr. Zara Osei approaches cultural production through the lens of technological transformation, examining how AI is fundamentally reshaping the creative landscape. Her work spans from intimate studies of individual artists collaborating with AI systems to macro-level analyses of how entire cultural industries are adapting to algorithmic creativity. Zara is particularly interested in the tension between traditional concepts of authorship and the emerging reality of human-AI creative partnerships. She brings a critical cultural studies perspective to questions of technological change, always asking not just how AI changes creative work, but who benefits from these changes and what forms of cultural expression might be lost or gained in the process.
