It seeks to identify strategies for developing trustworthy AI models, ensuring transparency and accountability, and integrating human cognitive skills with AI technologies to address challenging archaeological questions. Also, it will tackle the intrinsic incomplete and transformative nature of archaeological record, and consider the treat that these issues pose for the quantitative and qualitative interpretation of AI-derived results.</span><br><br><span style='background:white'>Participants will engage in case studies, presentations, and a panel discussion to examine the theoretical, ethical, epistemological, and practical implications of utilizing AI, especially in archaeology. The workshop will be hosted in the Augsburg University campus, building D, room 2126.</span><br><br><span style='background:white'>For those unable to attend in person, the Zoom link is:</span><br></span><a href="https://uni-augsburg.zoom-x.de/j/65850631032?pwd=eFpRbklEcnFxTVByVW5JRzJCVGROQT09" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC;background:white'>https://uni-augsburg.zoom-x.de/j/65850631032?pwd=eFpRbklEcnFxTVByVW5JRzJCVGROQT09</span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'><br><br><span style='background:white'>For further information, please contact</span><br></span><a href="mailto:cinzia.bettineschi@philhist.uni-augsburg.de" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC;background:white'>cinzia.bettineschi@philhist.uni-augsburg.de</span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'><br><br><span style='background:white'>Official webpage:</span><br></span><a href="https://www.uni-augsburg.de/de/fakultaet/philhist/professuren/kunst-und-kulturgeschichte/klassische-archaologie/forschung/trust-issues-artificial-intelligence-human-cognition-and-archaeo/" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC;background:white'>https://www.uni-augsburg.de/de/fakultaet/philhist/professuren/kunst-und-kulturgeschichte/klassische-archaologie/forschung/</span><span class=il><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC;background:white;text-decoration:none'>trust</span></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC;background:white'>-issues-artificial-intelligence-human-cognition-and-archaeo/</span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'><br><br><span style='background:white'>The event is generously funded by the Graduate School for Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Augsburg.</span><br><br><span style='background:white'>Program</span><br><br><span style='background:white'>8:30 AM - 9:00 AM: Registration</span><br><br><span style='background:white'>9:00 AM - 9:10 AM: Natascha Sojc, Theresia Dingelmaier (University of Augsburg): Official opening remarks</span><br><br><span style='background:white'>9:10 AM - 9:40 AM: Cinzia Bettineschi, Luigi Magnini (University of Augsburg - Germany/ Ca’ Foscari University of Venice - Italy): Opening Pandora’s (black) box.
