In this digital era, studying history and historical documents is no longer limited to leafing through ancient texts. The Department of History at Lingnan University has launched the Lingnan Guide to Digital and AI Humanities, a free interactive learning platform available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English that enables the public to learn the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and how to apply it to the study of the humanities and history. On the platform, users can see how historical materials can be transformed into digital archives and visualisations to help them analyse the context of texts and images. The platform’s practical digital tools and learning resources combine the arts and sciences, so students, researchers, and history and humanities enthusiasts can explore new ways of using AI to process complex data and conduct research.
