Was macht KI mit der Kunst, und was macht die Kunst mit KI?

The technical innovations of machine learning have recently attracted a great deal of attention from a wide audience with freely accessible artificial intelligence programs such as DALL-E or ChatGPT. The public debate oscillates between admiration, curiosity and concern. The conference "AI and the digital image" from February 21 to 23, 2024 is dedicated to this complex of topics.

The conference will focus on the question of whether and how AI-supported systems will be useful in the scientific environment in the future and what changes the digital image could bring with it. Renowned speakers from science and practice will explore the function, use and benefits of this new technology in art, science and in the media and social context. The diverse topics and opinion perspectives will be discussed in short lectures by prominent and relevantly active guests and in moderated discussion rounds.

The event is organized by the DFG-funded priority programme "The Digital Image" (SPP 2172), headed by Hubert Locher (Philipps University Marburg / German Documentation Centre for Art History - Image Archive Photo Marburg) and Hubertus Kohle (Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich). The priority program has been dealing with the phenomenon of the digital image and its effects on science, society and the economy since 2019. The aim is now to expand the discussion to include the aspects associated with the use of so-called artificial intelligence in a broader media and social context.
