INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL E PESQUISA EM HISTÓRIA MEDIEVAL
APLICAÇÕES, DESAFIOS E POSSIBILIDADES
Palavras-chave:
História Medieval, Inteligência Artificial, Humanidades Digitais, Fontes Históricas, EpistemologiaResumo
Este artigo analisa a integração da Inteligência Artificial (IA) na pesquisa medieval como um evento epistemológico que reconfigura práticas historiográficas. Argumenta-se que a opacidade algorítmica (“caixa-preta”) da IA gera uma “crise de justificação”, desafiando o raciocínio tradicional do historiador. A análise de aplicações como o Reconhecimento de Texto Manuscrito (HTR) e a Análise de Redes Sociais (SNA) evidencia a necessidade de uma nova “crítica das fontes 2.0”, que avalie tanto o documento quanto o processo computacional. Conclui-se que o ofício do historiador se expande: o pesquisador deve se tornar um “crítico do instrumento”, aplicando o rigor hermenêutico à própria tecnologia para garantir uma historiografia digital reflexiva e relevante.
