Today’s AJ Highlights

Good morning: Here are today’s highlights:

  1. An All-AI Bot Radio Station Hits The Airwaves “Weeks after letting its journalists go, OFF Radio Krakow relaunched this week, with what it said was ‘the first experiment in Poland in which journalists are virtual characters created by AI.’ The station aims to reach younger listeners by discussing cultural, art, and social issues.” – AP News
  2. Why Is The Art World Focusing On Photography Just As AI Images Are Becoming Harder To Detect? “Many of the largest and most powerful art dealers are dedicating significant attention to photography. This renaissance arrives as AI-produced images become virtually indistinguishable from real documentation, raising important questions about authenticity and the future of visual art.” – The New York Times
  3. Call Of Duty? The Long And Symbiotic Relationship Between The Video Game Industry And The Pentagon “The Department of Defense had significant influence on the early gaming industry, and Call of Duty represents a peak in leveraging real-world military strategies in digital marketing and game design.” – The Nation
  4. Study: How Arts Agencies Helped Local Arts Communities Through The Pandemic “Arts agencies played a crucial role during the pandemic, providing support and advocacy within local government funding discussions, helping sustain the cultural sector during unprecedented times.” – Cultural Data Project
  5. Is Cultural Tourism Growing Up? “Cultural tourism is evolving from a perceived low-quality, commercialized experience to a specialist industry led by arts professionals, providing authentic and enriching cultural exchanges.” – ArtsHub
