Laura Aull (PhD, University of Michigan) is Professor of English and Linguistics at the University of Michigan.

She is an internationally recognised scholar in writing studies and linguistics, known for her corpus-based research on stance, generality, and knowledge construction in academic writing. Her forthcoming book, AI English: Humans, Machines, and the Future of Writing (Cambridge University Press), examines linguistic patterns distinguishing human and AI-generated texts and explores their implications for writing pedagogy.

Her work offers a crucial foundation for moving beyond detection toward understanding how AI systems influence writing practices across educational and linguistic contexts.
