Distributed Conference
Given the diversity of outputs and interdisciplinarity of the work produced by Living with Machines, we are breaking with the convention of delivering a short burst of activities across only a couple of days (in the form of a conference) as it is usual at the end of large research projects.
Instead, in these final twelve months of the project, we will be delivering a series of activities designed to engage with people beyond the project. We hope that this model helps our different audiences, across the spectrum of Data Science, Humanities, policy and beyond, to connect more meaningfully with the project outcomes and our team.
We are calling this series of activities the Living with Machines Distributed Conference. As the events are organised they will be listed here, where you can check all the details, including register your attendance for those that are open to the public.

Join us for the final event of the Distributed Conference by the Living with Machines Project. The event will launch the report of one of the largest digital humanities projects ever funded in the UK, along with a ten-part documentary series about the process behind the Living with Machines research. The event is part of […]

The goal of this invitation-only workshop is to map out the copyright law landscape in the United Kingdom governing Artificial Intelligence (AI) usages in the cultural heritage sector. In this context, the workshop will seek to identify any copyright law issues currently facing cultural heritage institutions (and researchers within such contexts) when adopting AI technology, […]
June 7 2023, 9:00 - June 8 2023, 5:00
Join us for the public launch of the MapReader software library at The Alan Turing Institute, one of several events for the part of Living with Machines’ end of project Distributed Conference, a series of activities over the final twelve months of Living With Machines, designed to engage with people beyond the project.
June 6 2023, 6:00 - June 6 2023, 7:00
Are you curious about the digital skills required to unlock the potential of data science and artificial intelligence in non- science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields?
May 23 2023, 5:00 - May 23 2023, 6:30
History’s ‘digital turn’ has reshaped how nearly all us access and search sources, analyse historical content at scale, and present our research. For some, research also involves the creation of new digitised resources and / or tools for the gathering and study of historical data in ways impossible a generation ago.
May 10 2023, 12:00 - May 11 2023, 1:30
This workshop asks two key questions: a) what can we learn from the experiences of recent past and current projects, and b) what could a future ‘digitised newspapers’ project do with emergent and improved AI methods?
March 7 2023, 5:00
Join us for the launch of our short open access book, Collaborative Historical Research in the Age of Big Data: Lessons from an interdisciplinary project.
December 6 2022, 10:00 - December 7 2022, 5:00
Please join us at the Alan Turing Institute for a joint workshop / hack, co-sponsored by 'Living with Machines' and the 'Congruence Engine', one of the AHRC's TaNC Discovery Projects (based at the Science Museum Group).
July 8 2022, 3:30 - July 8 2022, 8:30
During this event, you will get insights into recently published historical research on global land rights and land reform and understand more about how the humanities is an area of extreme potential for growth in data science.
