Talking Humanities Podcast: From Ancient Texts to Ethical Tech
The latest edition of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities podcast 'Talking Humanities' features a conversation on the Digital Humanities between Dr Thea Sommerschield and Professor Sue Black.
Access the podcast here on Simplecast or on Apple podcasts.
For this episode we join Dr Thea Sommerschield from the Department of Classics and Ancient History and Professor Sue Black from the Department of Computer Science at Durham University.
This free-flowing conversation brings together Thea’s work on AI and ancient inscriptions, with Sue’s work supporting women in tech and challenging bias in AI.
We hear about the very different paths that led them into their research, before the conversation opens out into a fascinating discussion about ancient inscriptions, women in tech, the value of interdisciplinary research, and the importance of using technology in ways that are thoughtful, ethical, and transformative.
