The Humanities Research Centers on Artificial Intelligence program aims to support a more holistic understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) in the modern world through the creation of new humanities research centers on artificial intelligence at eligible institutions. Centers must focus their scholarly activities on exploring the ethical, legal, or societal implications of AI.

A Center supports collaboration among scholars to explore a specific topic through research, as well as spreading knowledge about that research through educational or outreach activities. Centers may include scholars from diverse disciplines, but must be focused on asking humanities questions and should be led by humanists. Scholars may come from one or more institutions. NEH welcomes international collaboration, but scholars at U.S. institutions must contribute significantly to the project. This program is for establishing new Centers; existing Centers and Institutes are not eligible in this competition. Only one application per institution is permitted in this competition. For the purposes of this limitation, branch campuses are considered separately and each may submit one application.

“There’s way more piloting that I’ve seen, especially in large law firms. So, there’s been a lot of expense, especially the allocating of staff and paying out of pocket for licensing fees,” Friedmann said.

“Part is keeping up with the Joneses, part of it is marketing, and part of it is just getting over the adoption challenges,” he continued. “In eDiscovery, before the advent of genAI, you needed some training to know how to interact with discovery database. There were a lot of tools, but they all had the same issue: You had to be pretty technically adept to tackle the database yourself.”

Law firms and corporate legal departments are adopting genAI for a myriad of purposes, ranging from document discovery and analysis to contract lifecycle management. GenAI can be used to categorize and summarize documents, draft new ones, and generate client communications.

The European Commission adopted on Thursday the initial implementing rules on cybersecurity of critical entities and networks under the Directive on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union. The NIS2 Directive addresses cybersecurity risk management measures and cases in which an incident should be considered significant and companies providing digital infrastructures and services should report it to national authorities. The move is seen as another major step in boosting the cyber resilience of Europe’s critical digital infrastructure.

The implementing regulation will apply to specific categories of companies providing digital services, such as cloud computing service providers, data center service providers, online marketplaces, online search engines, and social networking platforms, to name a few. For each category of service providers, the implementing act also specifies when an incident is considered significant.

Adopting the implementing regulation coincides with the deadline for Member States to transpose the NIS2 Directive into national law. As of Oct. 18, 2024, all Member States must apply the measures necessary to comply with the NIS2 cybersecurity rules, including supervisory and enforcement measures. The implementing regulation will be published in the Official Journal in due course and enter into force 20 days thereafter.
