Past Meets Future: Human-AI Interaction, Digital Humanities, and Cultural Heritage

More about this Workshop

Information Science scholars and practitioners working in Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage face complex challenges in applying AI, navigating data quality, and providing new modes of public engagement. Human-AI Interaction (HAI) holds promise to address these challenges, fostering enhanced analysis, discoverability, and storytelling at scale. This year’s workshop will build on the first iteration of this workshop (https://sites.google.com/vt.edu/pastmeetsfuturehaiworkshop/), held in 2024 at ACM IUI. In this second annual iteration, we will invite scholars and practitioners from human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, the humanities, and GLAMs (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) to explore innovative HAI methodologies and frameworks tailored to these domains, as well as ethical considerations. Through interdisciplinary dialogue grounded within information science, we will propose tractable solutions, enriching Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage, as well as the HAI field, while nurturing a fertile ground for historical storytelling and meaningful engagement with our shared past.
