This book offers readers an introduction to the world of artificial histories and historians. It looks behind the interfaces of AI and explores everyday platforms and prize-winning history books to identify how people and algorithms make histories, and how they might make histories in the future.Every moment around the globe, histories are made about ordinary people who use digital devices. These histories are not made by professional historians or even by humans, but by artificial intelligence that scours our digital footprints for patterns. AI histories not only shape recommendations about what we might buy or stream, but also our access to education, healthcare, and justice. The outcomes of recommendation systems are not just a technology problem or an ethics problem. This book argues that this is also a history problem, and it needs to be understood as one if we are to make fairer or more just systems. It shows us that the deep history of history making-including Australian Aboriginal and First Nations histories-can help us to navigate the future of history in AI.Presenting readers with a range of familiar and accessible examples, Artificial Historians is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and all those interested in global historiography, technology, and artificial intelligence.

This book brings together historical thinkers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to offer original interpretations of the essence of history. It addresses why it is that the essence of history itself cannot be so easily thematised or conceptualised.Restating the question of the essence of history is necessary because today it has largely been forgotten. Since Antiquity, history has been inextricably bound up with the problem of truth. Contemporary philosophy of history and historiography has branched out in many different directions. This complexity has made it nearly impossible for historical thinkers to engage outside of their own field. The relentless advancement of historical thought has almost completely neglected the question of the essence of history. The chapters in this volume respond to questions such as: What is history? What, in the 'progress' of historical thought from antiquity to modernity, did we lose along the way? And what does it mean, if it means anything at all, to have history, to be historical?The Essence of History will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in philosophy of history, historical theory and historiography, and ancient history.

This book analyses the social dimension of historical time, and explores how we emotionally and intellectually bind ourselves to the past, and project these ties onto our present and future.Gustafsson Chorell argues that historical time is inherently social, and that the nexus of past, present, and future is constructed through social mechanisms. Beginning with the concept of the 'historical imaginary', this book examines the theoretical shift from future-oriented to present-oriented models of time, and integrates insights from intellectual history, philosophy, and social theory.This book takes demonstrates how a variety of social bonds - such as emotion, generation, and authority - can affect how historical time is demarcated. Analysing key concepts such as 'desire' for the past, the impact of grief and nostalgia, and the role of history in shaping expectations for the future, the volume highlights the enduring significance of sociality, even under new regimes of historicity - such as the Anthropocene. Ultimately, Gustafsson Chorell offers a comprehensive view of how past, present, and future are interconnected - and highlights the continued importance of thinking carefully about the relationship between time and history.
