How To Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in History

The integration of Information Technology (IT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the study of history. AI’s translation capabilities make Chinese history books accessible to a wider audience, while spatial analysis offers new insights into historical contexts. Map tools like Baidu and Google Maps simplify the process of locating historical sites. Thus, employing IT and AI is essential for modern historical research.
