AI and the Study of Antiquity (Rutgers University-New Brunswick, 12-13 March 2026) - Day 1

Information
Thursday, March 12, 2026
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Rutgers' Alexander Library (169 College Avenue, New Brunswick NJ), 4th floor, Teleconference Lecture Hall

On the afternoon/evening of Thursday 12 March and all day Friday 13 March 2026, the Department of Classics at Rutgers-New Brunswick (in collaboration with Rutgers SAS Division of the Humanities and Rutgers University Libraries) will host an international conference on developments in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the study of antiquity. The application of AI to the study of antiquity is still in its earliest stages, but already it seems likely that the technology will be a routine partner in the humanistic study of the ancient world. Contributors (from the US and five other countries) will assess contemporary and potential contributions in AI, ranging from analyzing ancient texts at scale to remote sensing in landscape archaeology, detecting the likely presence of features invisible to the eye. The conference is hybrid, with in-person presentations in the Teleconference Lecture Hall of Alexander Library, 169 College Avenue.

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC  BUT REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY.
