Artificial humanities

Treat AI as both a technical system and a cultural artifact by making humanities scholars (history, literature, philosophy, media studies) formal partners in system design, product decisions, and default value choices. The discipline would study the metaphors, narratives, and ethical defaults built into conversational agents and translate that analysis into technical requirements and governance practices. — If adopted, it would change who shapes AI design (adding humanities institutions), alter default product metaphors (less Pygmalionism), and affect regulation, market design, and social harms tied to anthropomorphized AI.
