Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence: Interactions / Altercations

On-site: Free admission, registration required
Online: A video link will be sent to registered participants

 

This study day explores the field of Digital Humanities in its dual dimension: both as a set of practical tools and as a space for critical reflection. It offers an interdisciplinary encounter devoted to the transformations of the humanities in the digital age, bringing together technical, epistemological, heritage-related, ethical, and societal perspectives.

While including artificial intelligence among other approaches, the event opens up spaces for dialogue around digital tools and methods, considered within their historical contexts, knowledge politics, and the tensions between innovation and responsibility.

Aimed at an audience of established researchers, the study day will combine plenary lectures, presentations, and a roundtable discussion. It seeks to foster collaboration between research teams and encourage interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, by connecting expertise around heritage corpora, emerging technologies, and new forms of mediation.

The guiding thread is an exploration of Digital Humanities as a space for technical experimentation, epistemic transformation, and the reinvention of scientific and civic practices.
