AI, Narratives, and the Construction of Reality
Panel discussion on how AI shapes narratives, worldviews, and the ways societies construct and understand social reality.
Artificial intelligence is changing not only how texts, images, and stories are produced, but also the narratives through which societies understand themselves. The event “AI, Narratives, and the Construction of Reality” explores which worldviews AI makes visible, which it reinforces, and which perspectives may disappear.
The discussion considers AI as a cultural technology that can influence how social reality is structured and perceived. Experts from cultural research, technology, social science, journalism, and science fiction bring different perspectives to the conversation.
The event is part of the series “AI, Power, and Societal Control – Between Freedom, Security, and Inequality”, organized in the context of Berlin Science Week.
