Artificial Intelligence in Neo-Latin Studies: Prospects and Concerns
A roundtable discussion
The Committee for Digital Resources of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies is pleased to invite you to an online roundtable discussion entitled “Artificial Intelligence and Neo-Latin Studies: Prospects and Concerns”.
The session will bring together scholars interested in exploring how recent developments in artificial intelligence are reshaping the study, editing, interpretation, and teaching of Neo-Latin texts. We aim for a lively and inclusive exchange across disciplines and career stages.
Format
The roundtable will begin with a series of 5-minute introductory talks (the abstracts can be found here) by six speakers (William Barton, Marco Cristini, Lev Shadrin, Patruck Burns, Mads Rosendahl Thomsen, Sarah Lang), each presenting a focused idea, project, or challenge at the intersection of AI and Neo-Latin Studies. These short interventions will be followed by an open discussion, encouraging questions, reflections, and broader conversation among all participants.
