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.
