SUMMARY:(Generative) Artificial Intelligence and Teaching the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION: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. \nKeynote Address: Environmentally (un)sustainable AI: rethinking responsibilities for Ancient World Studies? by Prof. Federica Lucivero (Ethox Centre\, University of Oxford) \nSpeakers 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. \n\nPlease find the full programme here.\nPlease register here.\n\nIf there are any issues registering\, please contact the conference committee.

SUMMARY:Digital Humanities & Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker:\nDr Barbara McGillivray (King’s College London) \n  \nWe invite scholars\, researchers\, and practitioners to participate in a focused exploration of the intersections between Digital Humanities (DH) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at a one-day conference at the University of Reading. \n  \nThe conference will feature three distinct strands\, each proving a unique perspective on the evolving landscape of DH-AI: \nStrand 1: Cultural Heritage\n\nExplore the role of artificial intelligence in preserving\, interpreting\, and making accessible cultural heritage.\nDiscuss innovative projects and technologies that digitise\, catalog\, and safeguard cultural artifacts and historical sites.\nExamine the impact of AI on the study and dissemination of cultural heritage.\n\nStrand 2: Ethics\n\nDelve into the ethical considerations and challenges posed by the use of AI in Digital Humanities.\nDiscuss issues of bias\, representation\, and inclusivity in AI-driven research and projects.\nExplore strategies and best practices for ensuring ethical AI applications in the digital humanities.\n\nStrand 3: Synthetic Media\n\nInvestigate the creative potential of AI-generated content\, such as art\, music\, literature and virtual environments.\nShowcase projects that leverage synthetic media for storytelling\, cultural expression\, and education.\nExamine the ethical and cultural implications of AI-generated content in the Digital Humanities.\n\n  \nFull programme coming soon. \n  \nThis is a free event sponsored by the Digital Humanities CoP at the University of Reading. \nThe event is now fully booked. \n  \nFor any inquiries\, please contact the organising committee at DH-AI-Conference@reading.ac.uk \n  \nOrganising Committee:\n\nDr Mara Oliva\, Associate Professor in History and DH Champion\nDr Dominic Lees\, Associate Professor in Film\, Theatre and Television and Steering Committee Member of Synthetic Media Research Network\nDr Jumbly Grindrod\, Lecturer in Philosophy\nProfessor James Ferryman\, Professor of Computational Vision\nDr Rachel Lewis\, Research Development Manager for Heritage & Creativity\nDr Bonhi Bhattacharya\, Senior Research Manager for Environment and Agriculture and Food and Health
