</div> <p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most powerful technologies of our time and questions about its ethical, legal, and societal implications are fundamentally rooted in such humanities fields as ethics, law, history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, media studies, and cultural studies. </p><p>NEH’s founding legislation tasks the agency with making the American people “masters of their technology and not its unthinking servants.” Accordingly, in 2023, NEH launched "Humanities Perspectives on AI." This program encompasses several funding opportunities to support projects that bring humanities insights into exploration of the challenges and opportunities AI presents for civic and social life. NEH is particularly interested in projects that explore the impacts of AI-related technologies on truth, trust, and democracy; safety and security; and privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.</p><p>"Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence"<em><strong> </strong></em>supports AI-related humanities projects through the following funding opportunities:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li style="tab-stops:list .5in;"><a href="https://www.neh.gov/program/humanities-research-centers-artificial-intelligence"><strong>Humanities Research Centers on Artificial Intelligence</strong></a><br>This NEH grant program provides up to $750,000 to universities and independent research organizations to support the creation of humanities research centers focusing on the ethical, legal, or societal implications of artificial intelligence.</li><li style="tab-stops:list .5in;"><a href="https://www.neh.gov/program/dangers-and-opportunities-technology-perspectives-humanities"><strong>Dangers and Opportunities of Technology: Perspectives from the Humanities</strong></a><br>This NEH funding opportunity supports individuals and teams of scholars engaged in research that examines technology and its relationship to society through the lens of the humanities, with a focus on the dangers and/or opportunities presented by technology.</li><li style="tab-stops:list .5in;"><a href="https://www.neh.gov/grants/research/collaborative-research-grants"><strong>Collaborative Research</strong></a><br>This NEH funding opportunity advances humanistic knowledge by supporting teams of scholars working on a joint endeavor.
