Bringing together scholars from museology, digital heritage, game design, creative computing, and educational technology, it examines AI's impact on pedagogy, authorship, and interpretive authority. The discussion focuses on three themes: AI as a disruptor of traditional humanities education, its potential for collaborative narrative co-creation, and the need for new evaluation frameworks grounded in ethics and critical literacy. Addressing both institutional resistance and inevitable change, the panel aims to foster dialogue around inclusive, reflective, and ethically grounded approaches to AI-enhanced cultural storytelling.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseGenerative AI and the Narrative Turn in Digital Cultural Heritage Education10.2312/dh.202533112 pages
