Team led by Todd Presner receives $308,000 grant to study how AI is shaping Holocaust history

As a tool for teaching and learning history, artificial intelligence has become a double-edged sword. “AI has the potential to make historical knowledge more broadly accessible,” said Todd Presner, UCLA professor of European languages and transcultural studies. “But it also has the potential to undermine historical truths and imperil historical knowledge.” That dichotomy underpins a three-year project led by Presner through UCLA’s AI and Cultural Heritage Lab, exploring the promise and pitfalls of generative AI in sharing — and shaping — historical information about the Holocaust. Now, Presner’s lab has received a $308,000 grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), to support the project, “Prompting the Past: Generative AI and Holocaust History.” The project grew out of a collaboration with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The funds will enable research in four primary areas: understanding how AI is shaping public knowledge of the Holocaust, exploring how AI models engage with existing large-scale Holocaust archives, documenting how AI fosters Holocaust disinformation on social media, and developing a set of best practices for the use of generative AI by museums, libraries and educators.
