Mediatisation, digitisation and algorithmisation irritate society. New possibilities of communication using AI potentiate forms of self-description and self-observation and serve, among other things, to influence politics. In this study, we investigate the question of the extent to which landscape-related visualisations of the extreme right can be accessed via generative AI and how semantics of space and time are constructed through data. The case study is based on an exploratory study (Frankenberger et al., 2024) and visualises landscape based on the electoral program of a right-wing populist German party in 2021. While a closed image of landscape and society is computed, the visualisation of a neutral prompt shows an open development. The results are analysed in terms of syntax, semantics and pragmatics and interpreted from a neopragmatist and systems theory perspective. It becomes apparent that the computation of semantics of space and time is contingent and reduces complexity and that it is required to access these reflexively.

  • Remco Jongkind + 6 more

Background Generative AI (GenAI) such as ChatGPT can take over tasks that previously could only be done by humans. Although GenAI provides many educational opportunities, it also poses risks such as invalid assessments and irrelevant learning outcomes. This article presents a broadly applicable method to (1) determine current assessment validity, (2) assess which learning outcomes are impacted by student GenAI use and (3) decide whether to alter assessment formats and/or learning outcomes. This is exemplified by the case-study on our medical informatics curriculum. We developed a five-step method to evaluate and address the impact of GenAI. In a collaborative manner, the courses in a curriculum are analysed on their assessment plans and together with the teachers, the courses are adapted to address the impact of GenAI usage. Results 57% of assessments, especially in writing and programming, were at risk of reduced validity and relevance. GenAI impact on assessment validity was closer related to the content and structure of assessments than their complexity according to Bloom’s taxonomy. During educational retreats, lecturers discussed the relevance of impacted learning outcomes and whether students should be able to achieve them with or without GenAI. Furthermore, the results led to a plan to increase GenAI literacy and use over the years of study. Subsequently the coordinators were asked to either adjust either their assessments formats to preclude GenAI use, or to alter the learning outcomes and include GenAI use and literacy. For 64% of the impacted assessments the assessment format was adapted and for 36% the learning outcomes were adapted. Conclusion The majority of assessments in our curriculum were at risk of reduced assessment validity and relevance of learning outcomes, leading us to adapt either the assessments or learning outcomes. This method and case-study offer a potential blueprint for educational institutions facing similar challenges.

Integrating Generative AI Into Enterprise Platforms: Insights From Salesforce
  • Apr 11, 2025
  • Information Systems Journal
  • Kazem Haki + 3 more

ABSTRACTThe widespread applications of generative AI (GenAI) have sparked significant interest, with many organisations eager to leverage its transformative potential. Rather than focusing on individual organisations, this study examines GenAI integration within enterprise platforms, which are extensively adopted by many organisations and thus amplify both the benefits and risks of GenAI. We offer targeted recommendations for enterprise platform owners and their complementors, addressing challenges they face when integrating GenAI into these platforms. Drawing on a case study of Salesforce's experience, we recommend actions in three foundational areas – platform capability, architecture and governance – ensuring that our guidance is broadly applicable across enterprise platforms. In platform capability, we advise developing a unified GenAI stack built on existing platform services, offering generic and industry‐specific GenAI use cases to accelerate customer adoption and providing tools for customisation and creation of new use cases to enhance GenAI's transformational impact. For platform architecture, we recommend adding new layers for accommodating diverse GenAI foundation models and creating a trusted environment for secure data access, privacy and content monitoring. We also recommend implementing a prompt architecture to improve content relevance and accuracy. In platform governance, we recommend establishing new mechanisms to mitigate GenAI risks. Partnerships with GenAI providers and proactive investments in GenAI are essential to retain critical GenAI technologies. Personalised consultancy and training along with joint design and implementation with platform customers are also recommended. These combined actions, pursued in parallel across capability, architecture and governance, form a sustainable roadmap for GenAI integration in enterprise platforms.

Design Process with Generative AI and Thinking Methods: Divergence of Ideas Using the Fishbone Diagram Method
  • Jan 1, 2023
  • Yuhi Maeda + 2 more

In 2022, high-performance generative AI — such as Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT — were reported upon and released amid increasing momentum for the utilization of such generative AI. In the field of architecture, generative AI is expected to not only be used for task automation, but as a means of diverging ideas as well, especially in the planning stage of architectural design. However, effective application methods have not yet been reported.Therefore, this study proposes a concept-making method that combines generative AI and ways to diverge ideas in architectural design and proposes a tuning method for ChatGPT to enable more effective dialogue. In the proposed method, ChatGPT is involved as a member in group work settings that aims to create concepts and initial designs using the fishbone diagram, one of the ways to list and categorize factors and ideas to achieve goals. In addition, ChatGPT is tuned to obtain more effective factors and ideas, particularly those related to spatial composition and shapes by inputting text regarding architectural design and specific architects.The proposed method was tested via case studies that created concepts and initial designs for an actual architectural competition. The results show that external ideas obtained from generative AI inspire the fishbone diagram process. The concepts and designs created seem imaginative and appropriate for competition.

Sisters, not twins: exploring artistic control and anthropomorphism through composing with a bespoke generative AI
  • Mar 12, 2025
  • AI & SOCIETY
  • Alexis Weaver

Generative AI (GenAI) has the potential to affect artists’ control over their own music due to the illegal usage of copyrighted material for training. However, GenAI also creates exciting opportunities for artists to expand their material and working processes. Artists working with GenAI and documenting their outcomes can assist other artists as well as wider society in understanding how GenAI operates and can benefit human artistic output. This paper provides an autoethnographic case study into how a new GenAI tool influenced an established composing practice during the writing of the experimental musical work, Control Yourself (2023). The Koup Music prototype by Kopi Su Studio was trained on vocal inputs by the author and subsequently generated bespoke sonic material. While identifiably true to the author’s musical—and literal—voice, the outputs were novel and perceived as imbued with emotion, leading to subsequent anthropomorphising of the AI. Written by a former AI sceptic, this paper details how the emotive power of the AI’s non-verbal, human-like sounds informed the narrative and structure of the resulting work and imparted a sense of collaboration, rather than solo authorship. Furthermore, the influence of the AI was felt beyond its actual involvement, with the project taking on a more playful approach less centred on the artistic control of the human composer. Following these observations, this paper discusses how GenAI served as a tool for musical experimentation and exploring creative ‘blind spots.’ These insights are also contextualised by current discourse on the perception and use of GenAI in the arts, the role of artistic control in human–AI co-creation, and how anthropomorphism has manifested in past human–AI partnerships.

Abstract—Generative AI has emerged as a promising solution for automated analysis and validation of the final outgate quality in semiconductor manufacturing. This review explores the potential of leveraging generative AI models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and transformers, to address the challenges faced by traditional quality control methods in the semiconductor industry. These models offer unique capabilities for image analysis, defect detection, and process optimization, enabling more accurate and efficient quality control processes. Applications of generative AI in semiconductor manufacturing include defect classification, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and process simulation. By learning complex data distributions and generating synthetic data, generative AI can enhance the robustness and generalization of defect-detection models, capture subtle defect patterns, and discover novel defect types without explicit labeling. However, implementing generative AI in real-time manufacturing environments presents challenges related to the computational requirements, model interpretability, and integration with existing workflows. Addressing these challenges requires careful consideration of the data quality, model architecture, and deployment strategies. Case studies demonstrated the significant benefits of generative AI in improving defect detection, increasing yield, reducing time-to-market, and lowering manufacturing costs. As technology continues to evolve, future research should focus on emerging trends such as the AI-driven design of new materials and devices, while addressing ethical considerations and potential workforce impacts. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of generative AI in semiconductor manufacturing, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field. Keywords—semiconductor manufacturing, Generative AI, quality control, defect detection, final outgate quality, process optimization, anomaly detection

Using generative AI to co‐design data‐driven stories
  • Nov 13, 2025
  • Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology
  • Angelica Lo Duca

Data storytelling combines communication and visualization techniques with storytelling principles to convey insights meaningfully and engagingly. This paper introduces the AI‐DIKW framework, an extension of the Story Data–Information–Knowledge–Wisdom (S‐DIKW) hierarchy, designed to support the co‐creation of data‐driven stories by combining human expertise with Generative AI. The AI‐DIKW framework extends the S‐DIKW model through the application of the journalistic 5‐Ws, which guide Generative AI to provide consistent and contextually relevant outputs. This study describes how Generative AI can contribute to the iterative construction of a story's key components while ensuring alignment with ethical principles. Applying Generative AI at the AI‐Data stage involves extracting insights from the data. Applying Generative AI at the AI‐Information stage means enriching the insight with relevant context, while at the AI‐Knowledge stage, Generative AI helps the data storyteller to enrich the story with meaningful next steps, anchored to a selected ethical framework. Finally, at the AI‐Wisdom stage, Generative AI helps the data storyteller to tailor the story to specific audiences. At each stage of the AI‐DIKW framework, Generative AI acts as a co‐designer that helps the data storyteller to frame and edit the story. The article also describes a case study that applies the concepts described practically.
