The Artificial Intelligence Turn in Contemporary Historiography: Challenges, Applications, Reflections

This special issue explores the Artificial Intelligence turn in contemporary historiography and its implications for historical knowledge, method, and ethics. Artificial intelligence reshapes core principles of the historian’s craft, from authorship and interpretation to verification and critical engagement with evidence. We invite contributions that examine how large language models and algorithmic infrastructures transform epistemic practices, reproduce or disrupt bias, challenge human interpretive agency, and alter conditions of education and scholarly labor. The issue seeks both critical reflections and methodological innovations addressing this rapidly evolving intellectual landscape.
