随着人工智能的快速发展，GenAI对于人文学科的影响正在逐渐扩大，它的自动学习能力是否能够充分理解并掌握人文学科的知识与范式，能否协助甚至取代人文学者从事创造性的研究与对话？本论坛旨在探讨GenAI技术在历史、文献、考古等传统人文研究领域的应用案例，并探讨其发展潜力。论坛邀请了来自历史学、考古学、数字人文、机器学习、大语言模型等领域专家学者，将基于既有的项目经验与个人探索，共同思考如何使GenAI这一新兴技术与传统的人文研究相结合，并为人文学者提供更富有创新性的发展前景。论坛研讨的主要问题如下：

（1）GenAI在人文学科中的应用是否必要？在历史、文献与考古研究中，GenAI技术能否提供新的视角和方法？

（2）GenAI与传统人文研究如何有效地结合？它是否能够改变传统的研究方法和理论框架？

（3）在人文学者与GenAI的互动中，GenAI的角色是研究助理、影子同行还是其他？它如何帮助人文学者在研究中实现自我发展？

With the rapid development of AI, the impact of Generative AI on the humanities is gradually expanding. Can its automatic learning ability fully understand and master the knowledge and paradigms of the humanities? Can it assist or even replace human scholars in engaging in creative research and dialogue? This forum aims to explore the application of GenAI technology in traditional humanities research fields such as history, literature, and archaeology, and to discuss its developmental potential. The forum has invited a cross-disciplinary panel of scholars from history, archaeology, digital humanities, machine learning, and large language models (LLMs). They will share their research experiences and personal explorations, and jointly contemplate how to integrate the emerging GenAI technology with traditional humanities research and provide innovative development prospects for humanities scholars. Key questions for discussion in the forum:

(1) Is it necessary to use GenAI in our work as humanities scholars? What new perspectives and insights does it provide?

(2) How can we best integrate GenAI into our work? Or will it spark a revolution in the way we do our work?

(3) As historians and archaeologists, what role should we give to Generative AI? Should we see it as a research assistant, a “shadow colleague,” or something else? We invite our speakers to share their thoughts on these questions by drawing upon their experiences, successes, and failures.

数字媒介的发展迭代不断更新出版人对知识生产、传播介质、用户需求，乃至整个出版产业链的认知和想象。出版产业应大众传播的需求而诞生，又随分众传播、社交媒体的涌现而分化。学术出版本身自带分众特征，其内容生产、传播与使用遵循学术界的自身逻辑，这似乎预示学术出版领域与人工智能、机器学习存在某些天然联系。GenAI基于大数据的强大的内容输出能力可以快速为学术生产提供资源，而其自我学习和选择优化的能力又为知识的再生产提供了诸多可能。本次论坛的嘉宾来自学术出版业界和对未来媒体有深入思考的学界专家，将重点讨论GenAI在学术出版领域已经产生的影响，从多角度探讨其价值和问题，并进一步探讨学术出版的未来。

（1）媒介融合给出版业带来哪些影响？融合媒体内容生产的多样性和互文性，读者阅读习惯和信息偏好对内容生产、分发形式、推广渠道的影响。

（2）人工智能在学术出版中的积极作用和存在的问题有哪些，为什么？请举例。

（3）出版社从教学辅助单位向混合教育平台发展，需要大学与出版社的联手探索，已有的和可能的产品形态有哪些？哪些是过渡性产品，哪些是具有稳定性的成熟教育形态。

The evolution of digital media constantly updates publishers’ understanding and imagination of knowledge production, dissemination mediums, user needs, and the entire publishing industry chain. The publishing industry, born out of the need for mass communication, has diversified with the emergence of niche broadcasting and social media. Academic publishing inherently has niche characteristics, and its content production, dissemination, and use follow the internal logic of the academic community, suggesting a natural connection between academic publishing, AI, and machine learning. GenAI’s powerful content output based on big data can quickly provide resources for academic production, and its self-learning and optimisation abilities offer many possibilities for knowledge reproduction. The guests of this forum, from the academic publishing industry and experts with deep thoughts on future media, will focus on discussing the impact GenAI has already had in academic publishing, explore its value and problems from multiple perspectives, and further discuss the future of academic publishing. Key topics for discussion in the forum:

(1) Impact of Media Convergence on Publishing: How does media convergence affect the publishing industry? Explore the variety and interconnectedness in the production of converged media content, and examine how readers’ habits and preferences shape content creation, distribution methods, and marketing strategies.

(2) GenAI in Academic Publishing: What are the significant positive and negative aspects of using generative AI in academic publishing? Please give examples.

(3)Evolution of Publishers in Digital Publishing: As publishers transition from supporting teaching and learning to becoming providers of hybrid educational platforms, this change is marked by enhanced collaboration between publishers and universities. What are the current and prospective product and service models in this realm? Please distinguish between transitional and more stable, mature forms in this evolving landscape.

The future of digital humanities scholarship rests on future digital humanities scholars, primarily the young students presently immersed in digital humanities research and exploration. To nurture this talent, Tsinghua University’s journal Digital Humanities has successfully hosted four “Future Scholar” forums. These forums are designed to inspire and support undergraduate and graduate students in their digital humanities research, encouraging them to integrate innovative methods, perspectives, and contemporary questions into their exploration of new avenues in humanities scholarship. This particular forum is a part of the fourth “Future Scholars” series and serves as a special showcase for the exceptional work produced in Tsinghua University’s Rixin College’s “Digital Humanities” course. The students’ projects employ digital methodologies to delve into traditional areas of literary and historical research, such as textual criticism and the tracing of sources. These projects span a variety of subjects, including poetry, social interactions, astronomy, and geography, demonstrating the academic zeal and potential for research innovation among young scholars.
