Abstract
The remarkable advancements in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the increasing applications of AI across various domains have led to significant transformations in the humanities. Utilizing the SWOT analytical framework, this study examines the perspective of AI in the transformation of the humanities and analyzes the dimensions of their interaction in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

The findings, based on document analysis and a review of credible studies, indicate that AI can accelerate research processes, facilitate the analysis of massive datasets, and enhance access to resources. However, challenges such as algorithmic biases, infrastructure costs, and a decline in the philosophical depth of human thought pose significant obstacles to this interaction. The study also identifies opportunities such as the development of interdisciplinary approaches and the creation of innovative tools for education and research, while examining threats like increasing inequality and ethical challenges associated with data.

The results of the research highlight the necessity of formulating cohesive, interdisciplinary policies and strategies to optimize the potential of AI in the humanities and address its challenges. By presenting a comprehensive and systematic analysis, this paper provides a framework for future studies on the role of AI in the transformation of the humanities and offers a basis for scientific policymaking in this field.
