Rewriting History with AI
What happens when students turn to LLMs to learn about history? My guest, Nuno Moniz, Associate Research Professor at the University of Notre Dame, argues this can ultimately lead to mass confusion, which in turn can lead to tragic conflicts. There are at least three sources of that confusion: AI hallucinations, misinformation spreading, and biased interpretations of history getting the upper hand. Exactly how bad this can get and what we’re supposed to do about it isn’t obvious, but Nuno has some suggestions.
