In January 2025, I launched a European-wide research network to explore the impact of AI on our teaching in the Humanities. With 30 other academics and 7 universities, and generous funding from Una Europa, we’re going to survey how well-equipped Humanities departments are right now for this transformation and propose a toolkit to help us adapt syllabi to generative AI.

Artificial Intelligence & Humanities (101): Developing a Humanities Syllabus for AI & the Digital at Una Europa (AIHUMS101)

Artificial intelligence and digitalisation have the potential to radically change education and careers in the humanities. However, we still have a poor idea of what students need to know to engage in these developments.

How can we prepare students to play a part in this transformation? What more can Una Europa institutions do to achieve this?

AIHUMS101 will answer these questions, producing a survey on current teaching within Una Europa, a model syllabus of an introductory course on AI and the Digital for humanities students, and a toolkit to help integrate AI into existing courses.

Through two workshops, four online meetings and a session with students at the Future UniLab, the project will bring together 32 academics, seven universities and eight institutes.
