The Future of Public History in an A.I.-Dominated World – EUSTORY Past Forward Festival 2026
Jason Steinhauer delivers a fascinating keynote speech about the influence of A.I. on our understanding of the past, the world as it is now, and the future role of historians.
What we think we know about the past – and indeed what we think we know about much of the world – is increasingly determined by machines, to include algorithms, chatbots, language models and A.I.-powered applications.
What this means for knowledge produced by human beings, including knowledge about history, remains an open question.
In his keynote lecture, Jason Steinhauer will provide an overview of where A.I. is today, where it is headed in the future, and what roles, if any, historians and history educators must assume in order to remain relevant in an A.I.-dominated future.
