Cultural Organisations and AI: Ethics and Practices

On September 20th, our working group on Digital Ethics held an online webinar in the context of the Creative Skills Week 2024.
On the agenda: cultural organisations’ reactions to the AI avalanche. We argue that skills and capacity-building for new digital trends must be critical, cultural and collective, and we looked at how we could move in that direction.

The event, moderated by Cigdem Ozdemircelik from the ENCC office, was a conversation with Nancy Von Breska Ficovic, art historian, independent expert on culture for the European Commission, and ethics advisor on digital practices in the cultural field. Nancy took us through some of the main challenges posed by AI to the cultural sector, analysing the rapid evolution of the phenomenon and its impact.
