What kind of ethics do we need for artificial historians, and to support AI safety? My approach through mixed logic—statements, possibilities, and question-based elements—will appear in History and Theory in June 2025. Thanks to Joan Wallach Scott, Ethan Kleinberg, Hans Ruin, Jo Guldi and reviewers!
