REGISTRATION: Click Here AI is everywhere. How can humanists engage with it critically, responsibly, and effectively in teaching and research? This workshop will introduce humanities graduate students and faculty to basic concepts in generative artificial intelligence; major ethical, pedagogical, and scholarly concerns; and ways to approach AI critically in both research and teaching. Activities and discussion will offer participants space to investigate the possibilities and limitations for AI in their work. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to: • explain in general terms what generative AI is and how it works; • describe major concerns for its integration into humanities scholarship and pedagogy; • identify opportunities and challenges of applying AI in your work. This workshop will be facilitated by Hannah Jacobs, Digital Humanities Consultant with Duke Libraries.
