Humanities for AI
CDH-led projects, activities and events that center the humanities in the development, use, and interpretation of the field broadly known as “AI”
CDH @ Princeton
advancing computational and data-intensive humanities to create a more just future
The Center for Digital Humanities (CDH) is a collaborative research community that welcomes scholars from all disciplines and all levels. We work on projects, programs, and outreach activities aligned with our core belief that humanistic engagement with technology will deepen our understanding of the past, illuminate our present, and create a better future.
Join us in 2024–2025 to celebrate our ten years as a center and think critically, creatively, and capaciously about “Humanities for AI.”
