The International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities (DADH) was founded in 2009 by the Research Center for Digital Humanities at National Taiwan University. As the earliest and most influential international academic conference on digital humanities in Asia, DADH has been held annually for fifteen consecutive years.
This conference serves as a platform for international scholars in the field of digital humanities to engage in academic exchange and dialogue. It brings together experts from both the humanities and information technology, attracting researchers from countries such as the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore, and China. Through these gatherings, DADH actively fosters the development of an international scholarly network and community.
The rise of digital humanities has enabled researchers to analyze vast and complex datasets using digital and information technologies, uncovering patterns and research topics that are difficult to detect through traditional methodologies. Its innovative and practical nature has made digital humanities an indispensable part of contemporary academic research.
In November 2022, the emergence of ChatGPT sent shockwaves across the globe, profoundly reshaping public perceptions of artificial intelligence. This technological breakthrough has had a far-reaching impact on the humanities and education, prompting scholars to reevaluate the potential and challenges of AI in knowledge production, academic research, textual analysis, language learning, and educational assessment. To this day, the global humanities community continues to explore and respond to this AI-driven transformation, striving to understand its implications and to adapt, innovate, and uphold the core values of the humanities in the age of intelligence.
In light of these developments, DADH 2025 will take the theme:
“Cultural Heritage in the Age of Intelligence: Applications and Challenges of AI in Digital Humanities.”
This year’s conference aims to explore the opportunities and challenges posed by generative AI in education and research. Key areas of focus will include AI applications in text generation, historical data analysis, cultural heritage preservation, digital storytelling, and language modeling. The conference also seeks to examine how we might uphold humanistic values and ethical standards amidst rapid technological advancement, fostering a constructive and responsible interaction between AI and the humanities.
