AI as a symptom – On slopaganda, apocalyptic AI imagery and religion as a trigger
In the first episode of the special edition of Erleuchtung garantiert – Wissenschaftliche Spotlights auf Religion und Spiritualität , DIZH Bridge Professor Roland Meyer (UZH/ZHdK) discusses AI-generated images, slopaganda and the role of religious and apocalyptic motifs in digital public spheres. The episode explores why AI often reinforces existing clichés and stereotypes, and how current forms of digital propaganda differ from the propaganda models of the 20th century.
The podcast from the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies at UZH regularly offers academic insights into issues relating to religion, spirituality and society.
