AI, Creativity, Dependencies: What Geopolitics Means for the Industry

AI is putting pressure on the creative sector – and it is about far more than business models and copyright. Creativity is a nutrient for the mind, a mirror for the soul and a binding agent for society; a broad creative sector underpins our democracy. The talk shows why an undermining by AI would have enormous collateral damage – and which political AI rules can counteract this. It will also discuss the power of global tech ecosystems and the question of how we can actively counter digital and geopolitical dependencies so that creativity remains socially viable.

The impulse is part of "AI, copyright, business: Who owns creativity in the new AI age?".

In cooperation with the Initiative Urheberrecht.
