Hosted by: Nida Institute
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

We invite academics in the field of biblical studies to join us for a workshop to explore the practical use of GPT in biblical scholarship. This workshop serves as a kickoff meeting to explore proposing a new SBL program unit dedicated to "AI, NLP, and GPT in Biblical Studies." Please join us if you are interested in exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and biblical studies. Although this technology holds great promise, scholars will need to learn how to use them wisely to ensure trustworthy and accurate results, and these technologies raise important questions about ethical and responsible scholarship. They also raise questions about the process of scholarship itself – what is gained and lost by using these technologies for specific purposes? We will collectively identify topics of interest and identify potential leaders.
