We invite researchers and practitioners from HCI, data visualisation, digital humanities, cultural heritage, AI systems, design research, and related fields to participate in a workshop exploring how human–AI collaboration is reshaping the production and interpretation of historical knowledge graphs.

 

As AI systems increasingly structure complex historical datasets, the role of human expertise is shifting from correcting machine errors to critically interpreting AI-generated knowledge structures. This workshop revisits the concept of the Social Machine, examining how visualisation and interface design can support epistemic transparency, uncertainty representation, and human–AI co-navigation of knowledge systems.

 

The workshop will include short position statements, collaborative design challenges, and discussion aimed at shaping a new research agenda.
