Applied generative AI in the (digital) humanities
Digitalization has reached a new level. Are chatGPT and similar technologies just hype or even a technical revolution? This is not yet foreseeable and there are positive and negative consequences on the horizon. We don't want to advertise the company OpenAI and the chatGPT tool here, but rather draw attention to the wealth of other software products and an open source movement that is currently establishing itself in this area. What we can do, and this has always been the task of universities, is to gather experience, experiment and reflect. For this reason, we would like to invite you to the workshop series "GPT and Prompt Engineering for the (digital) humanities", in which we would like to present areas of application from our subject. Possible areas of application include assisted code generation, data modelling, transformation and visualization.
The series aims to demonstrate the technical possibilities and test how these can be used for the digital humanities. Although the ethical, social and societal implications of this technology are an important aspect, they are not the focus of this event.
The invitation is addressed to all colleagues inside and outside the University of Graz as well as to students who want to learn more about it. The topics are IT-heavy and strongly linked to programming and data modeling.
The event will be held in a hybrid format.
On site: In SR 81.31 at the Centre for Information Modelling, Elisabethstraße 59/III, 8010 Graz and via Zoom.
