Man vs Machine: the role of AI within the Digital Humanities Webinar
Thursday, 14th November, 15:00 GMT
Welcome to Wiley Humanities Festival!
As the world becomes increasingly reliant on the work of artificial
intelligence, machines, and automated learning, where does that leave
the Humanities? How can we use these technological tools to inform
Humanities research without compromising the necessary human
contributions to these fields?
Our web panel will focus on three primary areas within this broader
question:
What field of humanities would most benefit from AI algorithms?
Can machines extract meaning from texts better than humans? And as
AI starts interpreting text/data, what ethical concerns does it raise?

Subject: Strategic seminar - 13 November
Dear Colleague
We are developing our strategy for 2020-2025 and would like to ensure we
have input from as many stakeholders as possible. Following earlier
discussions with the Board of Trustees and Collegiate Council, there are
clear themes emerging that will drive our future growth and influence in
the world.
We are hosting seminars to explore these themes in more depth and I am
delighted to invite you to the event on 13 November Mapping the Future
in the Digital Academy.
You will find attached the programme for the event on 13 November where
we have presentations from Professor Martin Eve, strategic Lead for
Digital Education at Birkbeck and Professor John Naughton, Professor of
the Public Understanding of Technology at the Open University to share
their insights to stimulate discussion. We would be delighted to have
your participation in this to develop a shared understanding with the
University for our strategic direction in this area.
Please respond to internalcomms@london.ac.uk
by 6 November and indicate if you have any dietary requirements and
any mobility requirements.
Kind regards
Wendy Thomson
