Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how research is conducted, disseminated, and consumed. As AI increasingly assists with literature reviews, translation, drafting, and even academic writing, the traditional scholarly publications can no longer be regarded as the sole—or even primary—measure of humanities research. This transformation raises a series of pressing questions which this seminar seeks to ask: 

• What role can the humanities play beyond traditional paper writing? 
• How can humanities scholars contribute to society in ways that extend beyond conventional academic publications? 
• How can humanities scholars collaborate with museums, schools, libraries, NGOs, or local communities? 
• What new genres of scholarship are emerging, such as interactive editions, multilingual resources, digital exhibitions, educational games, translation workshops, podcasts, and digital story-tellering? 
• How should universities and funding bodies recognize forms of scholarly impact that extend beyond traditional publications?
• What human capacities—interpretation, ethical judgment, cultural mediation, historical contextualization, multilingual communication—become even more valuable in an AI-rich environment?

This seminar invites contributions that explore new forms of humanities scholarship, public engagement, and knowledge transfer in the age of AI. Rather than focusing exclusively on the challenges posed by generative AI, we seek to examine how humanities research can expand into new formats, reach broader audiences, and create additional social and cultural impacts. Possible topics include digital storytelling, exhibitions, podcasts, translation as public scholarship, citizen humanities, policy engagement, community-based research, digital archives, creative collaborations, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning with AI.

Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines, this panel aims to foster a conversation about the future of humanities research beyond conventional publication models. We invite contributions that present practical initiatives, theoretical reflections, or experimental projects demonstrating how the humanities can continue to shape public discourse, education, cultural understanding, and civic life in the era of artificial intelligence.
