New special issue published in Culture Unbound and inspired by DIGICHer collaboration
The open-access “Digital cultural heritage, AI, and Authenticity” has recently been published, showcasing collaboration between DIGICHer partners. This special issue of Culture Unbound explores the convergence of cultural heritage, AI, and the concept of authenticity, bringing together a collection of interdisciplinary perspectives that engage critically with this emerging field of inquiry. It explores how AI is transforming the ways CH is preserved, reconstructed, and interpreted, and addresses the implications of AI-generated heritage representations in relation to authenticity. It comprises five articles and a featured contribution, highlighting a range of approaches to this topic, which invites insights from various areas of academic enquiry.
The contributions in this special issue underscore the need for a deeper understanding of how authenticity and its relation to human agency, is conceptualised and contested across cultural, technological, and disciplinary contexts. It brings together interdisciplinary perspectives on key questions around authenticity, ethics, representation, and governance in an increasingly AI-driven cultural landscape.
