| Özet: | In the early 2020s, Artificial Intelligence became extremely popular. Due to new technology, more processes from various fields are subject to automation every day. Editing is no different, as concepts of utilising the feats of engineering to create scholarly editions are voiced ever more confidently. In the international community of Humanists, there is an ongoing debate on the possibilities for creative uses of generative artificial intelligence and machine learning in work with text. The first part of the article portrays the current state of scholarly editing in the digital age. The second part is devoted to a case study of utilising machine learning for the automatic generation of a transliteration of the seventeenth-century manuscript of Moralia by Wacław Potocki. The text concludes with a discussion on the ethics of editing aided by AI. The endeavour is carried out at the Jagiellonian University as part of the Digital Humanities Lab project. |
