On Artificial Humanities

This is exactly where the humanities should rise up to the task. It is becoming even more important for individuals, the media, and society to develop a critical eye on the use of AI, political narratives, trust, and truth. AI in politics and in law can be incredibly dangerous, adding to the fire started by social media, and before that, the Internet, and so on... In the past, we turned to philosophers for guidance on ethical and political decisions. Artificial Humanities argues that we should rely on humanities—with deep knowledge of human behaviors, desires, and cultures, including the narratives that we all inherit—for guidance on the new realities that AI enables, such as the relationships we form with AI agents.
