Renata Schmidtkunz (DE), Amanda Cox (US), Hermann Vaske (DE)

Numerous theoreticians, artists and lately also neuro-scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of creativity and in our new economy it has also become a much sought after ingredient for commercial success. So what is it, where does it come from and could it be delivered also by AI-Systems?

Which potentials and risks does the increasing automation and handling of information processes entail? Can we develop sensitive strategies for our data in digital space?

Panel II: AI, more than a technology

Renata Schmidtkunz (DE), Markus Poschner (DE), Douglas Eck (US), François Pachet (FR)

AI is expected to open many new possibilities for creators, not replacing them but assisting and supporting their work. Even more so we see big expectations for the businesses related to the distribution of music. What are the consequences and implications? What kind of new business models can we expect? How will this affect the artists?

Panel I: Homo Deus

Renata Schmidtkunz (DE), Josef Penninger (AT), Sophie Wennerscheid (DE)

Renata Schmidtkunz hosts four panel discussions in the summer refectory, prominently featuring Josef Penninger, Sophie Wennerscheid, Oliviero Toscani, Amanda Cox, Markus Poschner, and others. The topic is dedicated to the role of science and research, which initially had to confirm a religious view of the world, then was subordinated to economic rationality, and now, in the dawning age of AI, is reorienting again. Social acceptance in relation to current AI research will be discussed. Another focal point of the panels will be the new artistic possibilities opening up due to AI applications, which also lead to a variety of novel business models or issues with copyright regulations.
