AI AND THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES

This Guide focuses on the digital transformation and innovation in Digital Humanities research and scholarship with Artificial Intelligence as a catalyst for scalable advancements.

huu

Accessibility: Ensuring that AI tools are accessible to researchers with varying technical backgrounds.

Bias awareness: Be mindful of potential biases embedded within AI algorithms and training data, which can influence analysis results and affect proper data representation and interpretation.

Data quality: Training AI models requires high-quality, well-annotated data which can be challenging to acquire in humanities research.

Ethical implications: Consider the ethical implications of using AI to analyze sensitive cultural data, including privacy concerns.

Human expertise needed: While AI can analyze large datasets, critical interpretation and contextualization still require human expertise in the humanities field.

Interpretability: Understanding how AI models arrive at their conclusions is crucial for validating research findings.
