Ben Miller

Ben Miller works at the intersection of writing and computer science, focusing on interactive storytelling, game writing, and the ethics of working with and against writing machines. For more than two decades, his research has explored how communities use emerging technologies to tell stories of survival and how computational media reshapes collective authorship and reading practices. Whether in workshops at events like Chroniques, the Biennial of Digital Imaginaries in Marseille or through academic projects and publications on how computation can support spatial and creative storytelling, Ben’s focus has been on how academia, creative industries, and the public can collaborate on new forms of knowledge and storytelling. 

He was a founding member of the Creative Media Industries Institute at Georgia State University, served on the Atlanta Interdisciplinary AI Network, advancing ethical and equitable approaches to AI, and has spent a career as faculty at Emory University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Georgia State University. Dr. Miller currently serves as Academic Director of Digital Screen at the University of Canterbury in Aotearoa New Zealand, supporting academic and professional pathways for creative practice across film, games, virtual production, and Indigenous narrative.
