de-DE-Ruhrgebiet: Erklärung zum Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz

Declaration on the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool: It sorts thoughts, finds connections, and scans information. But what matters is the head behind the screen. Progress shouldn’t be reduced to pattern recognition and number crunching. AI helps apply what’s known — but creating something new? That stays human. Whether we want to change that is an ethical question. And yes, it can make pretty pictures.

What it can also do — if used wisely: It has the potential not just to translate cultural and linguistic identity, but to carry it. With stance. With resonance. Sometimes it even manages to preserve the essence of language — the tone that lives between the lines.

AI as tool, human as creator — that’s how progress stays human.

New input, real ideas, and the ability for critical, conceptual reflection must remain with humans — so humanity can continue to evolve in its full breadth and depth.

Or would you rather be steered by machines and algorithms?
