Don’t make Marshal Foch’s mistake on AI | Letters Letter: Peregrine Rand reflects on Marc Bloch’s Strange Defeat and the future threat of artificial intelligence

A sharp piece in The Guardian draws on Marc Bloch and WWII to make a point about AI, that societies often misunderstand transformative technologies.

Worth a read if you think history has anything to teach us about AI (it does).

Ethics of the Algorithm How computational methods can expand how we see, read, and listen to Holocaust testimony

Interesting anthology by Todd Presner on algorithmic ethics and holocaust remembering. For good and for worse approaching an algorithmic phenomenology?

Hoping that genAI isn’t just producing “slop” but actually helps us understand the past, as a thoughtful experiment in how historians might use genAI rather than fear it.

Really interesting new initiative by @benjamin-asmussen.bsky.social: using language models to reconstruct and communicate 18th-century Copenhagen month by month, grounded in historical newspapers and sources.

The question is no longer just who writes history, but what kinds of reasoning produce ethically sound histories

ETHICS FOR ARTIFICIAL HISTORIANS Artificial historians do not need to have intentions to complete actions or to solve problems. Consequently, a revised approach to the ethics of history is needed. An approach to ethics for artificia...

Historians may need to rethink ethics in the age of AI. If artificial historians can produce meaningful histories without intentions, then “practical ethics” might not be a human trait at all, but a feature of historiographical logic itself.

Thanks for the right handle. And yes, I think the conflation between the two are exactly part of the argument. That the increasing use of gAI tools become part of a historical epistemology - just one without the practical ethics of human historians.

Want to recommend Marnie Hughes-Warrington’s Artificial Historians.

Loved her talk at a conference last week, where she asked the audience if they wanted to publish a research article written by AI?
The scary answer: we are doing it already without knowing it.

A historian tested AI on a clean, structured Tudor dataset.

The result wasn’t random but coherent, plausible interpretation that simply wasn’t true.

Still some way from completely trusting gAI 😳

AI project aims to advance research into the past A new approach could accelerate historical analysis by teaching AI to read documents like scholars do.

“We want AI to read sources the way historians do”

A new Stanford project is trying to build AI that doesn’t just write history — but actually thinks like a historian.

Shifting AI in the humanities from text generation to transparent knowledge production?

German philosopher and social critic Jürgen Habermas dies at 96 One the most influential thinkers in post-war Germany, he linked philosophy and political action throughout his life.

The real challenge of AI may not be intelligence, but whether we can still deliberate together. 🙏

It might not be as pedagogically sound as one might have hope to chat with Cleopatra or Churchill as ChatGPT RAG-personas. Students tend to ask factual questions rather than questions that could cultivate historical consciousness.

AI is not just changing what humanists study. It is changing how they produce knowledge.

Topic-RAG allows historians (and humanities scholars broadly) to search, say, old newspaper, not only for keywords, but for abstract concepts like ‘greed’ or ‘fear’ by organisering sources in thematic clusters.
