The large, commercial generative AI tools pose all kinds of challenges and problems for historians and our societies. Beyond these error-prone text generators, however, AI has potential to help historians to provide access and interpretation of historical sources and knowledge. Independent communities and consortia are looking at creating their own independent AI-augmented tools for working with large corpora of data in ethical, useful ways. In this workshop, you will be able to learn about and interact with two of these – The MarCoMo project and History Genie’s African newspaper database.
