Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence | National Endowment for the Humanities National Endowment for the Humanities Application Review Process Grantee Communications Toolkit NEH International Opportunities Workshops, Resources, & Tools Emergency and Disaster Relief Featured NEH-Funded Projects Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most powerful technologies of our time and will have profound consequences for civil rights and civil liberties, safety and security, and human flourishing.
Questions about the impact of AI on American society and culture are fundamentally rooted in such humanities fields as ethics, law, history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, media studies, and cultural studies. NEH’s founding legislation tasks the agency with making the American people “masters of their technology and not its unthinking servants. ” Accordingly, NEH launched "Humanities Perspectives on AI."
This program encompasses several funding opportunities to support projects that bring humanities insights into exploration of the challenges and opportunities AI presents for American civic and social life.
NEH is particularly interested in projects that explore the impacts of AI-related technologies for the nation’s values, including civil rights, civil liberties, privacy, and human flourishing, as well as on America’s economic competitiveness and national security.
