Sponsored by the Rhodes Information Initiative, the Humanistic AI conference is designed to foster substantive dialogue between the humanities and the sciences.
The conference will explore questions such as: How might large language models be used to simulate or operationalize historical knowledge? How is generative AI reshaping concepts such as authorship, interpretation, and evidence? And how might current AI models be redesigned to better accommodate humanistic perspectives and theories?
