First International Congress
The rise of artificial intelligence has made it necessary to rethink not only how students are assessed, but also how historical research and teaching are carried out. The First International Conference on Innovation and Technology in Ancient History Education, organized by the Area of Ancient History of the Department of Antiquity and the Middle Ages at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), aims to address this new landscape by exploring innovative solutions for the teaching of Ancient History and Archaeology.
On May 7–8, researchers and educators from around the world will gather in a virtual environment to discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by the application of AI and other technologies in the teaching and public dissemination of Ancient History. Topics to be addressed include strategies for assessment in the age of AI, the integration of digital tools to foster critical thinking, and ways to improve accessibility to historical knowledge for a broader audience.
The results will be published in the first volume of AI & Antiquity.
