The AI and the Humanities Collaboratory will consider one of the most pressing questions for higher education: what is the future of humanities in the context of AI? While much of the campus has been focused on AI integration and instruction using new technology, this group will focus on the implications of such technology for humanities in higher education. Our goal is to approach this not from an educational technology or informational technology standpoint, but rather from a critical and ethical one. In other words, we seek to marshal the fundamental shared elements of the humanities and social sciences – critical thinking, ethics, language, and context – to bring a deeper and more reasoned consideration to this moment of upheaval in both higher education and culture writ large.
