SUMMARY:Talk: Human Simulation: Artificial Intelligence\, Ethics\, and the Future of the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThe capacities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are growing rapidly and new technologies are impacting society in a variety of ways\, all of which raise significant ethical issues. LeRon Shults (University of Adger\, Norway) argues that the Humanities are needed to help guide the ethical conversations around AI by becoming more engaged in “Human Simulation\,” a new interdisciplinary approach to simulating human futures (as well as studying the past) that requires the expertise of historians\, philosophers\, ethicists\, and other students of human nature. \nF. LeRon Shults\, Ph.D. is a Professor at the Institute for Global Development and Social Planning at the University of Agder\, Norway\, and Scientific Director\, Center for Modeling Social Systems. Shults\, whose graduate training was in the study of religion\, has been collaborating with computer modelers to demonstrate the value of computer modeling and simulation for refining and testing theories and generating dynamic models of the processes studied by scholars in the humanities. Shults has received numerous collaborative grants to advance this work and is one of four co-editors of a recently published volume\, Human Simulation: Perspectives\, Insights\, and Applications (New Approaches to the Scientific Study of Religion). \nPresented by the Department of Religious Studies and UCSB Library. Cosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.

SUMMARY:Talk: Nubian Studies: A Case Study in Scholar-Led Open Access Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerNubian studies scholar\, punctum books co-director\, and philologist Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei will discuss how community-focused\, scholar-led open access publishing can help launch fields of inquiry and study that otherwise would not have adequate resources to establish themselves\, because most publishers would consider the discipline too “small\,” and thus too risky to commit publishing resources. \nPart of Vincent’s work focuses on the study of the Old Nubian language\, and the development of a new grammar\, which he discusses in the article “Remarks toward a Revised Grammar of Old Nubian\,” from the open access journal that he is founder and co-editor of\, “Dotawo: A Journal for Nubian Studies. ” The journal has essentially served as an incubator for a new\, collaborative and inclusive approach to Nubian studies as an area of inquiry. Starting such a journal as a traditional subscription endeavor\, with a commercial publisher\, would have been incredibly difficult. \nThrough outreach\, advocacy\, and support\, the Library works to create a more scholar driven and economically sustainable scholarly communication system\, which improves access to scholarship and the reach and impact of UCSB scholarship. \nCo-sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, African Studies Research Focus Group \, Department of Linguistics\, and punctum books
