Description
xGenerative AI is transforming how we learn, teach, and conduct research, reshaping the foundations of the social sciences and humanities. Generative AI in the Social Sciences and Humanities examines this profound shift, offering an accessible and authoritative guide for scholars, educators, and professionals navigating the opportunities and risks of AI in academic life.
Bringing together an international team of contributors from Poland, Italy, the UK, Ukraine, and Finland, this volume provides an interdisciplinary exploration of how generative AI is reshaping research practices, educational environments, and scholarly culture within SSH. The book covers a broad thematic landscape: from the evolution and taxonomy of AI, to its uses in disinformation studies, academic integrity, and specialized professional training. It includes empirical insights from focus groups and classroom research, detailed analyses of LLM-driven risks such as hallucinations, bias, and erosion of critical thinking, as well as practical applications like AI-enhanced tutoring and dataset governance. Combining theoretical perspectives with real-world examples, the monograph illuminates how AI tools are deployed, perceived, and negotiated in universities, research institutions, and digital public spheres.
The book is unique for its SSH-focused perspective, empirical depth, and strong ethical framing. It provides concrete guidelines and best practices for the responsible use of AI, enabling researchers, educators, and students to balance innovation with integrity. By bringing technical and humanistic perspectives into dialogue, the volume offers a vital roadmap for navigating AI's rapidly evolving place in academic life.
- First major volume fully dedicated to AI in the social sciences and humanities, not STEM
- Based on original empirical research (focus groups, classroom studies, interviews)
- Offers practical guidelines for researchers, educators, and decision-makers
