Abstract: AI has become an integral part of the humanities and cultural studies for some time now. The paper highlights some of the major challenges which stem from the distinctive feature of the humanities: the time horizon for research data is determined by the long-term nature of cultural memory, which does not lose its value as time goes on. This is not merely a matter of storage, but of the accessibility and functionality of research platforms for users. This also applies to the responsible use of AI.
