Session Abstract

At its June 2023 meeting, the AHA council established two ad hoc committees to address the implications of artificial intelligence for our discipline, one focused on research and the other on teaching and learning. This panel brings together historians with a broad range of perspectives on higher education to contextualize recent developments in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), consider the possibilities for historical research, and offer audience members critical assessments of the application of AI in research.
