New Developments in Oral History Research in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Machine learning and natural language processing technologies in artificial intelligence provide powerful tools for oral history research. Using these technologies, we can more efficiently process and analyze large amounts of oral materials and tap into their potential value and information.

For example, natural language processing technology can help convert oral content into text and perform keyword extraction and sentiment analysis, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the narrator's expression and intention. Machine learning algorithms can be used to classify and cluster different oral history materials and discover patterns and regularities.

At the same time, artificial intelligence has also brought new opportunities for the preservation and dissemination of oral history. Through digital technology, oral history materials can be preserved in richer and more diverse forms, making it easier for future generations to access and study them. Moreover, with the help of online platforms and smart devices, oral history can be disseminated more widely, allowing more people to understand and pay attention to it.

However, there are also some challenges in the process of artificial intelligence assisting oral history research. The first is the accuracy and reliability of technology applications. Although artificial intelligence technology has powerful functions, errors and misunderstandings may occur when dealing with complex and subjective materials such as oral history. For example, errors in speech recognition and deviations in semantic understanding may affect the accuracy of research results.

Secondly, the application of artificial intelligence technology may also raise ethical and privacy concerns. When collecting and processing oral history materials, how to ensure that the personal privacy of the interviewees is protected and how to avoid improper use and abuse of the materials are all issues that need to be carefully considered and addressed.

In addition, over-reliance on artificial intelligence technology may also cause researchers to ignore the humanistic care and in-depth understanding of oral history materials themselves. Oral history is not only a record of information, but also a heritage of emotions, memories and culture, which requires researchers to listen and interpret from a humanistic perspective.

In short, artificial intelligence has brought new possibilities to oral history research, but we must also be cautious about the problems and challenges involved, give full play to its advantages, and promote the continuous development of oral history research.

In order to better utilize artificial intelligence technology to promote oral history research, we need to strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation. Oral history researchers, technical experts, ethicists, etc. should participate together to explore how to better apply technology to oral history research and formulate corresponding norms and guidelines.

At the same time, we should also focus on cultivating research talents with interdisciplinary qualities. They should not only master the methods and theories of oral history research, but also be familiar with the application and principles of artificial intelligence technology, and be able to organically combine the two to carry out high-quality research work.

In addition, all sectors of society should also increase their support and investment in oral history research, including financial support, technical support, platform construction, etc., to create better conditions and environment for oral history research.

In future development, we expect artificial intelligence to be more perfectly integrated with oral history research to reveal more historical truths and human wisdom to us.
