The Institute for Computational History explores history from the perspective of computation and data. Recent, current, and future break throughs in artificial intelligence enable history to be viewed from perspectives that have never been possible in the past. In fact the definition of history is now quickly evolving as we are able to explore the past, present, and future from the perspective of computation, data, and AI.
The Institute for Computational History strategic mission is to use computation, data science, and artificial intelligence to explore history as a vehicle to explore history. History as understanding the past, present, and future, as well as history as a discipline, academic or otherwise.
We explore the fundemental concecepts of "What is History?" Traditional techniques of books, papers, lectures are antiquated in the digital and post digital ages. Relatively new types of media such as "social media" (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) and emerging technologies such as "generative AI" (e.g. Anthropic) present new ways to view "history" as artifacts of the past. These platforms provide new mechanisms to view "history" and hence fundementally transform what we mean by history as a discipline.
