🌐 The integration of AI technology has profoundly transformed multiple dimensions of social life on a global scale. Specifically, in the realm of international cultural relations (ICR), it is evident that the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence significantly alters the dynamics, introducing new complexities and opportunities. However, there is also a reciprocal impact: ICR can shape the evolution and underlying rationales of AI and generative AI. Thus, beyond merely monitoring the proper use of AI tools and moderating the impact of third-party tech actors, participants in ICR can play a pivotal role in guiding the development of AI technologies and their regulation. What opportunities and risks do AI technologies pose for ICR? What narratives and tensions are at play among stakeholders in the intersection of AI and culture? How to establish intersectoral collaboration between the tech world and the cultural sector? What role can ICR actors play in making the development of AI systems more participatory among different stakeholders? In light of the upcoming UN Summit of the Future in September this research gives an introduction into the topic of AI and its possible geopolitical, cultural and societal impacts. Thus the results may feed into the one of the outcomes of the Summit the Global Digital Compact on science, technology and innovation and digital cooperation to support an open, free and secure digital future.
