Project Description

"Knowledge Futures" is an interdisciplinary project aimed at exploring the intersections of knowledge production, digital methods of inquiry, artificial intelligence, and the study of the Arab world. In collaboration with the Humanities Research Fellowship program, the project aims to foster collaborative inquiry among scholars and researchers across the campus and in our regional community. The project will prioritize an examination of how data and knowledge are produced and used in the Arab world, as well as the methods and platforms that are used in research and teaching. The project will center critical discussions on ethics in a digital society, and on the role of technology in shaping the future of the Arab world and the ways we produce knowledge about it and in it. The project will focus on open data and open scholarship, promoting the free and open exchange of knowledge and ideas.
