From piecing together fragments of ancient texts with language models to exploring the future of human-robot interactions, Princeton scholars aren’t just exploring what AI can do for the humanities. They’re uncovering what the humanities can do for AI.
Already, AI tools are appearing in all facets of our society and culture. “It’s the world that our kids are going to inherit,” said Meredith Martin (English and Center for Digital Humanities). “We should try our hardest to put the humanities into every aspect of AI development, not only in the input data and the interpretation of the results,” she said, in a story on the University homepage.
The story features projects from Princeton humanities faculty and researchers including: Paul Vierthaler (East Asian Studies), Marina Rustow (Near Eastern Studies and History), Barbara Graziosi (Classics), Happy Buzaaba (Princeton Language and Intelligence), Christiane Fellbaum (Linguistics), Elizabeth Margulis (Music), A.M. Homes (Lewis Center for the Arts), Arash Adel (School of Architecture), Meredith Martin (English), Matthew Jones (History), and Andrew Janco (Princeton University Library).
