A Research Resource Unlike Any Other at the College
The Krebs Center collection of Medieval, Renaissance, and early Modern art, objects, and furniture offers students and faculty direct access to primary material for humanistic inquiry. The Center supports faculty mentorship of student research and fosters collaborations across disciplines, grounded in the conviction that the humanist tradition speaks directly to the questions shaping our world today.The Humanities in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Our world is experiencing an unprecedented convergence of technology, culture, and the human experience. What role do the humanities play in this future, and how can we prepare our students for a rapidly changing world? Artificial Intelligence is set to be a cornerstone of the journey forward, but what does that mean for the concept of human expression?
The humanities remain at the forefront of these questions. At Lake Forest College's Krebs Center for the Humanities we are shaping the future of the humanities through engagement with artificial intelligence. In October, 2023, techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci visited Lake Forest College for a discussion with Krebs Center Executive Director Davis Schneiderman about a world rapidly adjusting to everything from ChatGPT to big data to the power of the algorithm—and how the humanities might be the key to the future.
