(Generative) Artificial Intelligence and Teaching the Ancient World
Event Navigation
Edward Ross and Jackie Baines (Department of Classics) invite teachers, researchers, scholars, and practitioners to participate in a new, hybrid conference event exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and teaching about the ancient world, broadly conceived. From the exponential environmental impact to the distortion of ancient history to the development of new models, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools are making growing impacts on how the ancient world is taught, investigated, perceived, and understood. It is crucial to discuss these arising issues with those involved at all stages of the teaching, research, and development processes so that the many disciplines engaged in ancient world studies might have a consensus about the use, ethics, and impact of GenAI.
Keynote Address: Environmentally (un)sustainable AI: rethinking responsibilities for Ancient World Studies? by Prof. Federica Lucivero (Ethox Centre, University of Oxford)
Speakers include teachers, researchers, and practitioners from eight countries. Discussions will include Reconciling the Ethics of Using GenAI in Ancient World T&L, Case Studies of Good Practice, Developing AI Models for Supporting Ancient World T&L, and GenAI in Public Ancient History and Reception.
If there are any issues registering, please contact the conference committee.
