Artificial Intelligence

On this page: Artificial Intelligence — Parents: Fotografische Themen › Technologie und Wissenschaft — Photography, Technology & Science at the Tenckhoff Photo Archive.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the defining topics of our time. It not only drives technological innovation but also shapes culture, science, and society. In photography, AI-based methods open up new possibilities for image analysis, editing, and generation. Artists increasingly use these tools to push creative boundaries and explore new forms of expression. In research, AI plays a growing role as well – from pattern recognition in complex datasets to simulations of scenarios that were previously only accessible in theory.

On this page, you will find articles, projects, and photo series that explore artificial intelligence in different contexts. The focus is both on practical applications and on critical reflections: What opportunities does AI create for art and science? What risks need to be addressed? And how does AI reshape our understanding of creativity and authorship?

The contributions collected under this tag invite you to discover the many facets of artificial intelligence – from a technical, artistic, and social perspective.
