Der TagIrre reich und mächtig: Elon MuskEin Genie, einen Visionär, das sehen die einen in ihm. Die anderen betrachten Elon Musk als Systemsprenger mit gefährlichem politischen Einfluss. Sicher ist: Der Tech-Milliardär Elon Musk ist der reichste Mensch der Welt, Regierungsberater des US-Präsidenten Trump, ohne je gewählt worden zu sein, kontrolliert er weltweit Kommunikationsstrukturen mit der Plattform X und dem Satellitennetzwerk Starlink, das zu seinem Raumfahrtunternehmen Space X gehört. Wie konnte Musk so mächtig werden? Wie gefährlich ist sein Einfluss und was kann Europa dem entgegensetzen? Und was können wir alle dafür tun, dass der Einfluss von Elon Musk...2025-04-0354 min
Der TagFrüher Feierabend – KI, übernehmen Sie!Stephen Hawking urteilte vor einigen Jahren: „KI ist wahrscheinlich das Beste oder das Schlimmste, was der Menschheit passieren kann“. Spätestens mit dem Durchbruch von ChatGPT 2022 ist die Künstliche Intelligenz im Arbeitsalltag angekommen. Sie hilft dabei Texte und Videos zu erstellen. Eine Studie der Investmentbank Goldman Sachs kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass diese Art von KI bis zu einem Viertel der derzeitigen Arbeit ersetzen könnte. Das Einsparpotenzial von Robotern und Selbst-Scanner-Kassen ist da noch nicht miteingerechnet. Können wir also bald früher in den Feierabend starten? Oder werden wir gar ganz ersetzt durch KI am Arbeitsplatz?

Die Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) hat in den vergangenen Jahren enorme Fortschritte gemacht – und auch vor der Kunst macht sie keinen Halt. Moderne KI-Bildgeneratoren wie Dall-E, Midjourney und Stable Diffusion erzeugen verblüffende Kunstwerke, gewinnen Preise und landen in Galerien und Ausstellungen.
Während viele Kunstschaffenden die Generatoren als neues Werkzeug sehen, fürchten andere um ihren Job. Zudem werfen die Programme viele Fragen auf, etwa in puncto Urheberrecht. Wie verändert KI die Kunst und wie geht die Branche damit um? Über diese und viele...2022-12-0925 min
The Culture & Technology PodcastA New Digital HumanismWhat does a European approach to innovation look like?
When thinking about digital innovation and policy around technology we often view it either through the lens of Silicon Valley surveillance capitalism or Chinese digital authoritarianism. We don’t often think about what a European approach to innovation might look like. Francesca Bria on the other hand spends most of her time thinking about just that. In our conversation, Francesca offered insight on Europe’s role in digital innovation, how culture informs technology and how citizens can get active in the area of digital innovation and policy.

There’s a lot of hype around the word data these days. But what’s less clear is its exact meaning – and its relationship with culture.
