Last week in Latvia, the Museum of Occupation was flagrantly and deliberately attacked with a Molotov Cocktail. We at the HCI strongly condemn this attack against the museum, whose staff are part of our HCI global network.

Many thanks to our friends at Project Liberty (formerly @byUnfinished) for featuring our statement on A.I. in their newsletter today. "There is so much to learn from the history of technological development" We agree 💯

5/ Our full statement on A.I. can be read on our website: historycommunication.com/wp-… The History Communication institute will continue to advocate for the role of history, the humanities and educators in these debates--and we'll continue to do reports & events. Stay in touch ⬇️

4/ The increased profits from A.I. should be invested back into society and democracy, to bridge existing inequalities and ensure equal access and equal benefit across racial, ethnic, gender and class lines.

3/ A.I. presents an opportunity for new collaborations & partnerships between tech, government, historians and humanities scholars. Such partnerships can help us understand how A.I. is changing humanity and society -- before it is too late.
