Artificial intelligence has found its place almost everywhere. The world of history is no exception. History researchers are increasingly using the power of algorithms to help them in their work. Benjamin Brillaud, aka NotaBene on YouTube, explains what's happening in the sector.
AI serves two main purposes.
So it's not surprising to see more and more applications using AI for historical study. However, we must be careful not to rely solely on the machine. It can make mistakes, or even invent things when it lacks information. Hence the importance of retaining human analysts. What's more, some artificial intelligences are programmed for a specific field, and their use by other researchers could, on the contrary, lead them astray.

If our supermarkets offer products from all over the world, this has a consequent ecological cost. In an idea of reducing its footprint, consuming local is a good thing. This can be learned in school. More and more programs are encouraging educational institutions to adopt regional foods in the canteen. This goes hand in hand with an educational approach so that students understand the importance of this consumption on the planet.
Being close to your learners at a distance
Loss of human contact, poor quality of exchanges, many fears animate trainers who launch into distance learning. But what if distance learning could create stronger links with our learners? By taking into account a few specific parameters of distance learning, the trainer can encourage the creation of links within the group.
The clown game as an alternative to the serious I [Thesis].
Serious games suggest that non-serious games cannot be educational. But what if it were possible to train serious people with clown play? Let's find out with the clown researcher Rafaël Resende Marques da Silva and his thesis "Development of a pedagogy of clowning: a journey between Brazil and Europe".
Whether they take the form of pixels, period costumes or fantastical tales, these playful uses of history have one thing in common: they shake up our relationship with the past. By inviting us to literally enter into history, to live it and replay it rather than contemplate it from a distance, they open up new ways of transmitting and appropriating it.
