Join us for our Spring semester opening lecture featuring Nuno Moniz, Associate Research Professor at Notre Dame's Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society and Associate Director of the Data, Inference, Analytics, and Learning (DIAL) Lab. An internationally recognized expert in machine learning, data privacy, and model interpretability, Prof. Moniz focuses on understanding the real-world impact of automated systems through interdisciplinary research.
This talk addresses urgent concerns about how AI systems are transforming historical information. Drawing from recent research analyzing how large language models present historical content across multiple conflicts and languages, Prof. Moniz will discuss systematic problems including fabricated events, chronological distortions, and language-based manipulation vulnerabilities. The presentation explores critical implications for education, cultural memory, and democratic discourse, along with policy recommendations to protect against AI-generated historical misinformation.
All faculty, students, and interested community members are welcome to attend.
