Amidst questions about what AI will do in the future and this is usually the top priority for the new technological explosion scryers, there are also unanswered questions about what to do in the past. This impact is, in a way, limited, as the past has already happened. However, it informs our journey through this strange and sometimes terrifying age.
Many experts and those close to the “history industry” believe that AI is likely to lead to significant historical distortions. Now, you could point out that this would not be the first time in human history that the media or digital life has distorted history: just watch a class of students watching the movie “Pearl Harbor”, for example, and then talk to them about the war.
Still, the technology that brings us Deepfakes is unique in a position to distort: this danger is front and center in a place I read in essence by Jason Steinhauer, where the author opens with a story about a young Pakistan that creates “Holocaust images” with AI, while not familiar with AI. By reading this, you start taking a look at how this massive disconnection would work. Instead of creating images of updated reading, AI can create the images to learn the story itself. Since we know that AI is subject to hallucinations, this can be difficult.
‘Automatic Historian’ is unbearable
To one track in Scienmag, An anonymous writer aims at the problem of Black Box, which, in some ways, always existed in the world of artificial intelligence and mechanical learning.
“One of the most important issues that surround AI’s invasion of history is the inherent lack of transparency in his methodologies,” the author proposes. “Unlike traditional historians, who openly substantiate their research processes and selection criteria, AI systems often act as black boxes.
The shift of work is also an issue.
“While Wikipedia and social media have gained worldwide attention, professional history has attached a rapidly reduced air space,” Steinhauer writes on his part, where he points out that the decline of the profession of history began with these kinds of competition on the internet long before AI came to the scene. “As they were well documented … The History Departments in North America and Europe are closing, the retired teachers of history are not replaced, which disappear less history degrees, the museums of historical are the historical/historical social few and fanatics between them.”
Brain drainage in humanities
Steinhauer also talks about an academic exit, describing the process by which the historical departments of universities unfortunately have atrophy slowly:
“At the college and university level, the charm of the career of executives who would justify the high cost of tuition fees that were dragged by liberal arts buildings and science and business halls,” Steinhauer writes, noting that not even high -ranking technology. “Coders and engineers are now facing gloomy job prospects-but students have not returned. Without historical students, managers can justify fewer history teachers and without historical departments. Stand up in history for fear that their elected officials will come.
This is more and terrible.
How far will it go?
Ask models
When I tried to search for relevant content in Bing, Microsoft Copilot responded to my reported concerns with something reminiscent of a property cookie:
“The question of whether AI will kill the story is complex and subjective.”
Copilot then went to quite different territory, highlighting links associated with the wider illustration that AI would not “kill history” but deletes humanity. For example, a futuristic article referred to in the views of Suggested by Roman Yampolskiy This scientist calculates something as a 99.9% probability of human disappearance due to AI in the coming century. There is no big deal, right?
Perhaps similarly inspired, Steinhauer records his query on Google Gemini.
“(Gemini) produced a long exposure created by AI claiming that” instead of dealing with the depreciation, the profession of history is in the middle of a deep and essential development, “the BB writes.” He referred to 24 websites, above half of which were lessons in the University of Marketing University. Wikipedia.
This, then, points out how AI is in our human content – it takes some things deep from the context, where the user can see that human sources lean the game. But if you project this, where, in the end, LLMS is self-teaching-you can imagine what all this will be in a few more years, when models learn to be thinner. Well, keep seeing more complex Turing tests that go through these simulators, to …? So what will we know about them?
2025 is coming to an end very soon and I think we would all agree that this was a year for technology. Stay tuned.
