Humanities AI Conference

Humanities AI Conference

How do we ensure that the design, development, and uses of emerging technologies like AI, robotics, and genetic engineering prioritize and reflect human interests? The humanities and STEM fields in the academy increasingly operate in separate spheres, leaving little room for conversation and intellectual exchange. This lack of serious engagement across highly specialized fields of knowledge has extended beyond academia to hamper serious public discussion about the ethical and societal impact of emerging technologies.

As a first step toward remedying this situation here on the Lehigh campus, the Humanities Center will host an interdisciplinary workshop bringing together Lehigh faculty from the humanities, sciences, and engineering with leading scholars from around the country working on the intersections of the humanities and AI.
