Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
‘AI for the public’ is a project aiming to realize the aspiration of AI for public goods in Humanity and social science (HSS). The third phase will build upon the work completed in the previous two phases over three years which includes: Establishing and developing an AI text labeling platform for HSS, along with related guidelines; Organizing interdisciplinary AI consultation meetings, forums, and workshops among eleven HSS academic disciplines; Editing and publishing two interdisciplinary books on AI based on HSS perspectives; Producing a ten episode online AI introductory course for HSS audiences and numerous public promotional materials in text and video formats. Building upon these, we will devote ourselves to accomplishing the following tasks: 1. Promoting the application of the generative AI prompts engineering for humanities and social sciences (AIGC Prompt Engineering for HSS). 2. Releasing publicly available AI seed datasets and research examples. 3. Establishing a civic AI empowerment infrastructure, including an automated labelling platform. 4. Exploring the possible consensus on AI ethics during the local implementations among HSS communities. Through these efforts, we hope to contribute the efforts of HSS to promote better developments of AI for the future of our society.
Results/Contributions

Phase Progress Report

I. Automated Annotation System Prototype

1.AI Text Annotation System – Supports scholars in structuring text data for AI training and research, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration.

2.Suicide Risk Detection – Uses AI to identify high-risk posts; for mental health professionals, currently in testing.

3.AI-Assisted Custody Prediction – Developed "Le Sister – Family Mediation Assistant" to aid legal professionals and litigants; introduced in court mediation.

4.JudgementsCrawler – Automates court ruling extraction for legal research.

5.LawsCrawler – Enables keyword-based legal statute search and structured downloads.

II. Ethical Consultation

Engaged history and communication experts to establish AI ethics guidelines; consensus meetings planned.

III. AI Instruction Sets & Workshops

1.AI Instruction Sets for Humanities

Phase 1 (May–Sep 2023): 3 general sets.

Phase 2 (Oct 2023–Mar 2024): 6 course-specific sets.

Phase 3 (May 2024–ongoing): Expanded to 10+ disciplines, 30+ educators, 5 new sets.

The total number of views has exceeded 42,000.

 

2.Prompt Engineering in HSS Online Workshops

IV. Cross-Disciplinary Promotion

  1. AI, Technology & Society Book Series – Launched with Tsing Hua University Press, involving top AI scholars.
