KI2023 - Workshop
Humanities-Centred AI (CHAI)
Workshop at KI2023
46th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 26 - 29 September 2023: Berlin, Germany
AI can support research in the Humanities making it easier and more efficient. It is thus essential that AI practitioners and Humanities scholars take a Humanities-centred approach to the development, deployment and application of AI methods for the Humanities.
Aim & Scope
Inferring ancient cultural traditions from written artefacts, AI offers many opportunities to assist humanities scholars in their work. Editorial projects and computer-aided evaluations, such as text and data mining or linguistic analyses, require the collecting, storing, and linking of data in order to quickly identify core information of the written artefacts under investigation. Time-consuming procedures like the creation of dictionaries or the use of bibliographies can be facilitated, abridged and designed more efficiently through the automatic linking of data, which enables to create extensive data sets and to generate additional information. In this way, AI supports scholars with time-saving methods for their research, hence leaving more room for core tasks and questions. To ensure that the use of AI methods in the humanities remains not only abstract and theoretic, the applicability of algorithms in respective research needs to be specifically examined and intentionally developed with a clear focus on humanities research.
