Description:
In the context of the digital transformation and subsequent technological breakthrough, the advent of AI and mass digitization provide us with access to a wealth of documents that were either out of reach or simply too numerous to grasp. While this is undeniable progress, it is important to note that advances due to AI and computer science should not be taken blindly, as they come with specific risks. This course will focus on understanding the impact and risks of using digitised documents collections and/or automatically analysed collections for studies and research.
