| Work package number | 8 |
| Work package title | Policy Recommendations |
| Objectives To provide well-founded recommendations for European policy in R&I and other key areas, based on the project’s findings. |
| Description of work WP8 is tasked with synthesizing the research findings from all previous work packages to inform European policy directives. It will evaluate the project’s outcomes in terms of AI’s role in historical research, its societal impact, ethical considerations, and educational implications. The work package will produce a comprehensive set of policy recommendations that address the integration of AI in historical studies, the ethical deployment of AI, and the long-term societal effects of AI use in the humanities. The recommendations will be based on extensive analysis and will be formulated to guide policymakers in creating informed, future-oriented R&I strategies. Workshops, roundtable discussions, and stakeholder consultations will be organized to ensure a wide array of perspectives are considered and to foster an inclusive approach to policy development. Led by Partner 4-Policy/Ethics, WP8 involves a commitment of key personnel including the Site Project Director and a Post-Doc specializing in policy and ethics issues. Collaborating participants from Partner 3-AI & Tool Developer, UA, UC3M, and CSIC will provide interdisciplinary expertise, ensuring that the policy recommendations are robust, well-rounded, and reflective of the project’s diverse stakeholder base. The deliverables from WP8 will include policy briefs, recommendation reports, and a strategic policy roadmap. These outputs will not only guide the ethical and effective deployment of AI in historical research but will also provide a template for R&I policy across other disciplines where AI is poised to play a transformative role.
