Integrating Humanities into the Core of AI Development

What can AI learn from the humanities?

The Doing AI Differently initiative challenges traditional approaches to AI development by positioning humanities perspectives as integral—rather than supplemental—to technical innovation. 

Main Day: Thursday 13 March 2025, 10am-4pm
Working Group Sessions: Friday 14 March 2025, 10am-4pm [invite only]
Location: The Royal Academy of Engineering, London SW1
Aligned with The Alan Turing Institute’s major annual conference (AIUK) on 17-18 March

With a long-term goal of establishing a new field of study, the workshop will explore what a new field would achieve and how it would change the current landscape.

To support research under this theme, an Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC-UKRI) International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) funding call will be launched in April 2025. This call will be focused on collaborations between the UK, US and Canada. This adds the opportunities for research and innovation in AI – artificial intelligence – in the UK (see Transforming our world with AI).

To register your interest in participating in the workshop complete an Expression of Interest by 17 February 2025. A limited number of bursaries are available to support travel costs for participants who do not have other institutional support. See EOI form for details.
