🎭 When AI Meets Culture… What Changes?
Imagine a literature class where a student submits a poem co-written with AI.
Is it still their voice? Or something new entirely?
A recent UNESCO report explores exactly these questions, looking at how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping culture, creativity, and the humanities across the world. It highlights both the opportunities (such as expanding access and new forms of expression), together with the risks; including bias, inequality, and the risk of cultural homogenisation. What stands out is the report’s central message: technology should not replace human creativity, but rather support it while preserving cultural diversity and human agency.
This perspective resonates strongly with Key Area 3: Critical Evaluation & Creative Integration, an area explored within Trust AI's Training Incubator. Within the project, we are developing learning resources that help educators and students:
🔎 Critically assess AI-generated content
🎨 Explore AI as a tool for creative expression
🧠 Reflect on how meaning, authorship, and originality evolve in the AI era.
Within the humanities, the question is not only what AI can do, but what it should do, and for whom.

As AI becomes part of our cultural and educational landscape, perhaps the most important question remains:
How do we ensure that technology amplifies human creativity, rather than quietly reshaping it?
