Europe's DeepSeek Moment mit Dr. Laurent Mignonneau
12. Mai 2026, 11.00 bis 12.00 Uhr Online via Zoom
Teilnahme von Dr. Laurent Mignonneau, Lehrender für Interface Cultures, an der Konferenz Europe's DeepSeek Moment zum Thema A Regenerative Path to Global Leadership?.
Europe stands at a pivotal moment in shaping the future of artificial intelligence. With the rise of open models such as DeepSeek, new opportunities are emerging across all sectors, alongside significant socio-political implications. Yet the challenge goes beyond innovation. From an arts and culture perspective, sustainability is no longer sufficient. A shift toward regeneration is needed: a mindset that moves from minimizing harm to actively restoring ecosystems and fostering life in alignment with nature. Artificial intelligence, especially generative AI, can play a central role in enabling this transformation. This panel will explore how the arts, together with science and research, can drive Europe’s leadership in the development and application of a “regenerative AI.”
This event will take place in English.
