The conditions for creative writing are shifting in the aftermath of publicly available generative AI, impacting teaching and learning writing skills.The enactment and evaluation of creative writing in AI-infused school contexts are yet unexplored terrain. With the aim of contributing knowledge about creative human-algorithmic authorship, this presentation explores student textual production asan entangled process where human and algorithmic creativity emerge together and converge, when collaboratively envisioning scenarios and composing stories about the future. The necessity to engage with futures literacy in education is amplified by rapid AI advances, compelling teachers to include futures perspectives in the learning design (Lindberg & Johansson 2023).

The study is based on longitudinal empirical data collected annually since 2023in the upper secondary school postdigitalintervention project Futures Day(cf. Lindberg & Haglind2024). Previous analysis of the intra-actions (Barad 2007) in the collaborative writing process revealed the emergence of co-authorship involving both student agency and computational creativity (Lindberg, Godhe & Bäcke, in press). While the collaborative process was seen as reshaping authorship, writing practices, and narratives, tensions were also identified concerning the co-created text as a school assignment and questions regarding authenticity and responsibility (cf. Flenady & Sparrow 2025).

In this article, we analyze the stories as artefacts created during Futures Day to explore the outcomes of the human-algorithmic authorship.The analysis aims to answer questions about how genre and content,as well as notions of creativity of the collaboratively written texts are re-negotiated in co-authorships with AI.

Several stories describe a planet ravaged by environmental decline and a surveillance society where technology subjugates humans, yet most narratives also feature creative human resistance; sometimes victorious, sometimes defeated. Several stories close on an optimistic note, with people reclaiming technology to rebuild a better world. In the presentation we will discuss how AI-assisted idea generation and text production cultivate creativity, development of voice, agency, and critical engagement with emerging AI technologies.
