Petri Luosto : AI as a Tool for Qualitative Analysis: Past and Present

Can a machine help us understand the past? Can it shed light on the present?

In this groundbreaking exploration, Petri Luosto engages in a rich dialogue with AI; specifically ChatGPT; to examine the power and limitations of artificial intelligence in historical and qualitative analysis. From the decisions of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Napoleon to the complexities of modern geopolitics, Luosto tests how AI interprets context, language, and human judgment.

Combining deep historical insight with a clear-eyed look at cutting-edge technology, this book offers readers a rare blend of reflection, technical explanation, and philosophical inquiry. It invites historians, students, and curious minds to witness how AI can assist; not replace; our understanding of why people made the decisions they did.

This is not just a book about AI. It is a book with AI; part guide, part experiment, and part conversation with the future.
