AI in the Humanities: A Double-Edged Sword
This article explores the profound impact of generative AI on humanities education. The author argues that ignoring AI's influence is foolish, as AI language models rely on humanistic knowledge and skills. AI demonstrates immense potential in language translation, classification, and other areas, while humanistic skills are increasingly crucial to AI research itself. Through personal experience developing history-themed educational games, the author showcases AI's applications in teaching, but also points out that AI misuse can lead to decreased student engagement and exacerbate educational inequities. Ultimately, the author calls on educators to actively participate in developing customized AI teaching tools, preventing AI abuse, and upholding the fundamental values of quality education.
