Artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way in recent years, transforming the way we live, work, and interact with each other. While its potential applications are vast, the debate surrounding AI’s impact on humanity and society remains ongoing. In this article, we’ll explore the recent trends of AI in humanities and social sciences, highlighting the opportunities, challenges, and potential risks associated with its adoption.
