Experiments in Artificial Intelligence & Digital Scholarship
The Center for Digital Scholarship is committed to exploring the use of AI for digital scholarship and digital humanities. Our project on “Experiments in Artificial Intelligence & Digital Scholarship” documents a few of the smaller projects and work our team is developing with researchers at Brown University to utilize advancements in AI for digital scholarship.
Contributors to this project include Patrick Rashleigh, Tarika Sankar, Khanh Vo, and Ashley Champagne
