Scientists believe that even in the age of rapid development of artificial intelligence, historians only increase. The reason is that no algorithm is able to reflect the emotional and moral depth of the events of the past. This was mentioned by the Nazi German history specialist Jan Burzlaf. The work was published in the "Rethinking History" magazine.
In his study, the scientist analyzed how ChatGPT resurrected the testimonies of the Holocaust, which were recorded in La Pas, Krakow and Connecticut in 1995.
It turned out that artificial intelligence misses the most important details. For example, in the testimony of seven-year Luiz de.
"If artificial intelligence cannot even transfer such scenes, the peak of human suffering in modern history, then it will blur the more delicate stories," Burzlaf said. "Historians need, because they can listen and comment. Artificial intelligence can only generalize. "
The researcher notes that Systems like ChatGPPT can offer unexpected perspectives, but at the same time they tend to "simplify" history, including the Holocaust tragedies that cannot be reduced to a clear and linear history.
He calls the testimonies of the victims for "litmus paper" for artificial intelligence. "The algorithms are paved and organized, while the work of the historian preserves the ethical weight."
In the article, he outlined five principles for traumas, genocide and historical injustice. The main thing is that historians need to sound "not like cars" based on unique testimonies, not repetitive patterns.
"Not only the memory of the Holocaust, but also how to remember all societies in the era of algorithms," Burzlaf concluded. "
