Oral History, Artificial Intelligente, and Values: For a Methodology Grounded in the Time of Listening and Research

Abstract

The article examines the risks associated with the naturalization of artificial intelligence technologies in oral history, emphasizing their ethical, political, and epistemological implications. Arguing that such implications directly affect the constitutive core of the practice, it proposes a minimal agenda of guiding principles that combine resistance with harm reduction strategies. The reflection culminates in the defense of the ethics of listening and of slow temporality as indispensable conditions for the production of knowledge in oral history.
