In 2023, the AHA Council established an Ad Hoc Committee on Artificial Intelligence in History Education to develop guidelines for the safe, ethical, and pedagogically sound integration of AI in history education at all levels. Drawing on the results of a 2024 survey of AHA members, the committee developed a disciplinary approach to AI that focuses on specific aspects of history education that might not be addressed in broader institutional policies.
The capabilities and limitations of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) are evolving rapidly enough that specific recommendations become obsolete within months or even weeks. With this context in mind, the committee identified 14 foundational principles meant to assist educators and administrators in crafting AI policies suited to local circumstances and the specific needs of students.
You can find the Guiding Principles on the AHA website.
