The project consists of the creation of a complementary course at CEGEP or an optional course at university dealing with artificial intelligence (AI) and its ethical or social issues. It can be followed by students enrolled in any study program. In this transdisciplinary course, the student will be trained on artificial intelligence, its potential and its limits. At the end of his training, the student will be able to understand the mechanisms used by AI, its biases and the ethical and social issues it raises. This project is led by the Cégep de Saint-Laurent, in collaboration with the University of Montreal and the Artenso Center.

“Mining the Internet Graveyard” argues that the advent of massive quantity of born-digital historical sources necessitates a rethinking of the historians' toolkit. The contours of a third wave of computational history are outlined, a trend marked by ever-increasing amounts of digitized information (especially web based), falling digital storage costs, a move to the cloud, and a corresponding increase in computational power to process these sources. Following this, the article uses a case study of an early born-digital archive at Library and Archives Canada – Canada's Digital Collections project (CDC) – to bring some of these problems into view. An array of off-the-shelf data analysis solutions, coupled with code written in Mathematica, helps us bring context and retrieve information from a digital collection on a previously inaccessible scale. The article concludes with an illustration of the various computational tools available, as well as a call for greater digital literacy in history curricula and professional development.
