Euronews Culture spoke with Berlin’s Minister for Culture and Social Cohesion, Joe Chialo, to delve into the vibrant cultural landscape of Germany’s capital and its future challenges. With its iconic Berghain nightclub, renowned opera houses, and vast collection of galleries and museums, Berlin boasts a cultural scene that attracts visitors from around the globe. Chialo discusses the city’s migration rate of over 25%, highlighting its diversity and the need for coexistence. He also emphasizes the importance of addressing societal cohesion and exploring the implications of artificial intelligence on art and culture, raising questions about the role and ethics of AI in creative expression.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in social media has sparked significant debate, particularly regarding user privacy and ethical concerns. Social media platforms like Facebook (now Meta) leverage AI to analyze vast amounts of user data, including likes, shares, and content interactions, to create detailed user profiles and target advertising campaigns. However, allegations of platforms listening to private conversations for ad targeting have been repeatedly denied. Instead, AI algorithms parse user activity on the platform to identify interests and preferences. The extent of data collection and analysis raises concerns about intrusion and the fine line between personalized advertising and privacy invasion. Critics argue for greater transparency, user control over data, and the need for ethical practices that respect user privacy and data security. By understanding user preferences and behaviors, AI enhances user experience and curates content that aligns with individual interests. However, the future of AI in social media advertising depends on balancing its innovative potential with ethical considerations, regulatory compliance, and the involvement of users in shaping a more responsible approach to data usage.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly prevalent tool in the film industry, presenting both opportunities and challenges. Wonder Dynamics, a company co-founded by actor Tye Sheridan, offers an easy-to-use AI platform that allows filmmakers to create computer-generated characters at an affordable price. However, the use of AI in filmmaking raises ethical concerns about job loss, the impact on human performers, and the potential for the erosion of traditional performance art. Wonder Dynamics emphasizes that they are not replacing human actors but rather providing them with tools to enhance their work, and they prioritize ethical considerations in the development of their technology. The future of filmmaking remains uncertain, but AI is expected to continue playing a significant role, with audiences ultimately determining the direction of the medium and the value placed on human performance.
