Impact of AI on this Study
AI can aid Irish Studies by facilitating the digitization and analysis of vast historical archives and linguistic data for Irish texts and dialects. While AI can process information, the critical interpretation and cultural nuance remain human-centric, enhancing research efficiency rather than replacing scholarly insight.
