Artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of our lives, raising urgent questions about its impact on ethics, identity, well-being, and the health of our political and economic systems. At the same time, AI is opening new frontiers in humanities research—reshaping how we analyze complex texts, uncover historical insights, and approach anthropology.
This Research on Tap will showcase cutting-edge research and foster dialogue across disciplines. Faculty from across BU schools and colleges will critically examine AI’s societal and cultural impacts while highlighting its innovative applications in the humanities, from natural language processing to reasoning machines. Join us to explore how technology and the human experience intersect—and to engage with the researchers shaping our understanding of this evolving relationship.

About Research on Tap
The Research on Tap series, sponsored by the BU Office of Research, brings together groups of BU researchers around important topics. At each event, 10-12 researchers present a maximum of four slides and deliver a four-minute “elevator pitch” of their work. Research on Tap events are open to faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students. Each presentation is followed by refreshments and lively discussion with colleagues and potential collaborators.
