        Subject: "Trust Issues. Artificial Intelligence, Human Cognition & Archaeology" (Augsburg , Dec 8)

The international workshop “Trust Issues. Artificial Intelligence, Human
Cognition, and Archaeology” will take place in Augsburg (Germany) on
December 8th 2023.

Through cross disciplinary dialogue and collaborative exploration, this
workshop intends to enhance understanding of the potential pitfalls and
opportunities associated with AI integration in archaeology. It seeks to
identify strategies for developing trustworthy AI models, ensuring
transparency and accountability, and integrating human cognitive skills
with AI technologies to address challenging archaeological questions.
Also, it will tackle the intrinsic incomplete and transformative nature
of archaeological record, and consider the treat that these issues pose
for the quantitative and qualitative interpretation of AI-derived results.

Participants will engage in case studies, presentations, and a panel
discussion to examine the theoretical, ethical, epistemological, and
practical implications of utilizing AI in archaeology. The workshop will
be hosted in the Augsburg University campus, building D, room 2126.
