How is artificial intelligence changing the way we work with historical sources, collective remembrance and cultural memory? And what opportunities and challenges does this bring for researchers and cultural heritage professionals?
These questions will be at the centre of the AI remembers Study Day, taking place on Monday 2 November 2026 at the Université de Caen Normandie in Caen, France.
Under the title “Practices and challenges in the use of artificial intelligence for history and memory”, the one-day event will bring together researchers, heritage professionals, archivists, museum specialists, educators and students to discuss how AI is already changing the way we study, interpret and share the past.
Open to researchers and memory heritage professionals
The AI remembers Study Day is intended for anyone interested in the relationship between artificial intelligence, history and cultural heritage, including:
- academics and researchers in History, Computer Science and the Social Sciences and Humanities;
- professionals working in museums, memorials and heritage sites;
- archivists, librarians and specialists in digital archives and documentary heritage;
- museum educators, cultural mediators and exhibition designers;
- undergraduate and postgraduate students, including doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.
The event will take place from 10:00 to 17:00 at the Amphithéâtre de la MRSH, Université de Caen Normandie.
The main language of exchange will be French, while presentations and presentation materials in English are also welcome. Attendance is free, and registration is recommended.
