Dept of Classics

This meeting aims to bring together teachers, researchers, and practitioners in ancient world studies, broadly conceived, to address the issues related to the use and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools across our disciplines. We are aware that the use of AI models is increasing exponentially across all areas of daily life, but recognition and understanding of the issues related to AI models is not increasing at the same rate. This meeting will focus on how best to promote AI literacy and current AI ethics issues among those in our educational and work contexts.
