Day of the Humanities 2025

Between hype and critical discourse. AI in the humanities

Time: Thursday, 30 October 2025, 5 pm
Location: Festsaal Meerscheinschlössl (Mozartgasse 3, 8010 Graz)

What do the humanities have to do with AI? Humanities researchers not only use AI-based programmes, they also make important contributions to the contextualisation and development of AI applications. What would chatbots or translation programmes be without linguists and translation researchers? What impact does AI have on teaching? Who deals with the inherent bias? Who deals with the ethical limits and effects of this technological development? These include individual humanities disciplines from art history and musicology to linguistics, literary studies and philosophy.
