Organized within a Charles University 4EU+ student mini-grant, this workshop aims to explore the application of AI in historical research. Hosted by the History Department of Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg in Germany, this event will bring together graduate students and experts in Digital Humanities to discuss the integration of AI in historical research and writing.
The workshop will delve into the advantages, complexities, challenges, and boundaries associated with employing AI-based tools in historical research. Through discussions and presentations, participants will share insights, challenges, and potential solutions.
A digital “handbook” will be developed as a lasting outcome of the workshop. This resource will provide a comprehensive overview of ongoing projects, tools, and methodologies of AI in history, serving as a forum for addressing challenges and fostering ongoing discussions.
