The toolkit will consist in a bespoke card-like game kit (called “the EDUCArds”). The cards design will take inspiration from the method material NOVA\, developed by Vinnova. These cards will be pilot-tested at the AI for Humanity and Society 2026 conference\, and then refined to produce a freely-available web-based resource. The workshop is scheduled on May 27th\, 10-12\, and is fully online. We look forward to having you at the workshop! \nRegistration\nIf you wish to attend the workshop\, please register your participation here (please make sure to click on Save your Response). Please note the deadline for registering is 12 May (note that this has been changed from previous version which said April 24th). \nOrganizers\nKatherine HarrisonValentina Fantasia \nMore About the Project\nThe project “Learning to do research with AI: Rethinking Academic Practices and Doctoral Training” builds on a recognised interest within the WASP-HS community for support and discussion around use of genAI tools in the production of research\, with particular reference to the training and guidance of doctoral students. In particular\, the project aims to design and pilot an interactive toolkit to facilitate conversations and actionable discussions on the use of genAI tools between supervisors and PhD students\, but also senior researchers involved in doctoral training programmes at large.

Running from 2026 to 2027\, the program brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to examine the broader transformations associated with the rapid development and deployment of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems across different global contexts. \nAs part of this series we are welcoming you to the open lecture “Human Futures\, Machine Pasts: Rethinking AI through Cultural Memory and Imagination” on May 27\, 2026. Keynote speaker is Anna Foka\, Professor of Digital Humanities\, Uppsala University \n \n \n \n \n \n Abstract\nThe opening keynote explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping not only the way societies imagine the future but also how we understand the past and define humanity itself. Drawing from cultural heritage\, digital humanities\, and critical AI studies\, it argues that the technologies driving automation and prediction are deeply entangled with inherited cultural narratives\, biases\, and epistemologies. By tracing the historical continuities between past imaginaries of intelligence and today’s algorithmic systems\, the lecture highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches that foreground ethics\, creativity\, and global diversity. Ultimately\, it asks how the humanities can help us reclaim agency and meaning in an increasingly automated world—turning AI from an object of control into a shared space of interpretation and reflection. \nRegistration\nPre-registration for the physical event (not Zoom) is required by 25 May 2026 at the latest. \n \n Registrer\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Anna Foka\n \n Professor of Digital Humanities\, Uppsala University \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Anna Foka\nAnna Foka is Professor of Digital Humanities at Uppsala University and research leader och the WASP-HS research environments AI Futures of Culture and Memory.
