Generative AI for the Humanities

Research Innovation Cohort: 2024-2025

Aiming to introduce faculty and graduate students to the most recent research on generative AI.

This allows Notre Dame's community to get a better sense of how AI works, the ethical, pedagogical, and humanistic questions that accompany it, and the role of the humanities in its critical use. This Collaborative approaches generative AI as an agent, pragmatically and heuristically, in order to employ the methods of the humanities to understand its agential nature. The aim of this Collaborative is to address conceptual and practical questions about the behavior of agents, natural and artificial, and their products (in text, images, music, etc.) from the perspective of the liberal arts and in the spirit of humanistic inquiry more broadly.
