She argues that authenticity is no longer just a technical problem but an societal one: Media literacy, visual verification, and ethical reflection on authenticity infrastructures should become core competencies for students, journalists, and citizens. #VisualCulture #AIEthics #Disinformation

Wenn Bilder symbolische Formen sind, dann verändert KI nicht nur die Bildproduktion. Sie verändert die Formen, in denen Gesellschaften Wirklichkeit ordnen, erinnern und sichtbar machen. #Bildwissenschaft #KIAesthetik #DigitalCulture

Jede Bildkultur hat ihre Infrastruktur. Hogarths Kupferstiche, Van Eycks Ölmalerei, soziale Netzwerke und KI-Bildgeneratoren zeigen: Medien bestimmen nicht nur, wie Bilder entstehen, sondern auch, wer sie sehen, verbreiten und kontrollieren kann. #Kunstgeschichte #KIAesthetik #DigitalSovereignty

AI-Slop ist nicht einfach schlechter KI-Content. Er ist die ästhetische Erscheinungsform einer Infrastruktur, die auf Reichweite, Wiederholung und Engagement optimiert ist. Was sichtbar wird, folgt nicht Bedeutung oder Wahrheit, sondern den Regeln der Plattform. #KIAesthetik #VisualCulture

Digitale Kunstgeschichte fragt nicht nur, was ein Bild bedeutet, sondern welche Muster, Cluster und Leerstellen in großen Bildkorpora sichtbar werden. Distant Viewing ersetzt nicht die Kunstgeschichte – es erweitert ihren Blick. #DigitalHumanities #DigitalArtHistory #VisualCulture

Die Kunstgeschichte erweitert sich damit vom einzelnen Bild auf die Analyse der Bedingungen, die bestimmen, welche Bilder sichtbar werden und welche unsichtbar bleiben. #KIAesthetik #VisualCulture #DigitalHumanities

Peter Wolfendale’s “Geist in the Machine” raises an important question for AI debates: the central issue is not whether machines can imitate intelligence, but whether they can participate in meaning making, creativity, and cultural self reflection. #AI #digitalculture aeon.co/essays/if-we...

AI in science looks less like automation and more like a reconfiguration of how research itself is organized. This paper argues its real impact is: larger teams, reallocation toward human capital, broader task structures, and new forms of experimentation. arxiv.org/abs/2603.27956

Digitale Bildkultur heißt heute: Bilder sind keine einzelnen Objekte mehr, sondern Teil eines globalen, algorithmisch gefilterten Systems. Von Memes bis KI-generierten Bilder – Sichtbarkeit entsteht durch Plattformen, Daten und Prozesse. #VisualCulture #KIAesthetik #DigitalCulture

KI-Bilder sind keine isolierten Objekte, sondern Teil von Infrastrukturen, die bestimmen, was sichtbar wird. Wer visuelle Kultur im Zeitalter von KI analysieren will, muss nicht nur vor das Bild treten – sondern auch dahinter schauen. #KIAesthetik #VisualCulture #DigitalSovereignty

Great reminder how powerful real imagery still is—no AI needed. Also interesting: with features like iOS spatial scenes, even static images become interactive experiences. A subtle shift in how we perceive space imagery. #Space #Visualization

Why do language models hallucinate? Not because they’re “broken” – but because training rewards them for giving plausible answers, even when uncertain. Benchmarks punish “I don’t know,” so bluffing is rewarded. #DigitalSovereignty #AIInfrastructure #TrustworthyAI PDF cdn.openai.com/pdf/d04913be...

LLMs struggle with symbolic planning. A new paper shows how instruction tuning with logical CoT steps + an external validator (VAL) makes them far more reliable. Results: up to 94% valid plans vs. 28–35% in baselines. arxiv.org/abs/2509.13351 #AI #LLM #Planning #AgenticAI #HybridAI #TrustworthyAI

Ed, it is not a bubble about to burst but rather a classic hype cycle. We are in the phase of over-enthusiasm, which will inevitably be followed by disillusionment. We have seen this pattern many times before with technologies.

Interesting chart—but it seems Microsoft might not fully understand what historians actually do (and why LLMs better not take over that role). Same with writers and authors: it’s not just about putting words together. AI won’t replace these roles—but it will transform them. #LLM #FutureOfWork

This means: real-time visualization of image similarity becomes feasible, especially for interfaces or dashboards that display clustered search results or artwork collections. Think search results as semantic maps instead of grids. #digitalarthistory #AI

Harald Klinke @harald-klinke.de · 30/07/2025

Why does it matter? If the API already provides features (e.g. extracted via ResNet or similar), users can directly perform t-SNE or other dimensionality reduction techniques without first downloading the images and processing them locally. #bigimagedata #machinelearning

💡When designing an image API, it’s worth going beyond just returning image URLs. Including image feature vectors in the response can significantly expand what’s possible for users and researchers. 🧵 #bigimagedata #metaimage #digitalarthistory
