Researchers at West Virginia University are launching a program to investigate the social, ethical, and technical aspects of artificial intelligence in liberal arts education. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, this initiative aims to engage faculty in discussions about AI's implications and applications in the classroom. The program will include workshops and the development of new courses that incorporate AI into humanities curricula.
Co-directors Erin Brock Carlson and Scott Davidson emphasize the importance of integrating humanities perspectives into AI discussions, which are often dominated by STEM fields. They aim to create a collaborative environment that fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and addresses both the benefits and drawbacks of AI. The initiative seeks to enhance understanding of AI's impact on society, including its environmental and ethical implications.
