In 2024, Annette Zimmermann (Assistant Professor of Philosophy) along with 4 colleagues at UW-Madison were awarded a seed grant to form a humanities-oriented, AI research center. Today, having been awarded a sizable NEH grant, that center is becoming a reality. The new Center for Humanistic Inquiry into AI and Uncertainty will launch in the spring, where it will house up to four UW–Madison faculty who are working on a project that explores the theme of “AI and Knowledge” from a humanistic (or descriptive social-scientific) perspective.
