KI so gestalten, dass sie die kulturelle Vielfalt respektiert

As AI becomes a bigger part of our lives, it’s shaping more than just how we work or communicate—it’s shaping culture itself. The problem? A lot of these systems are trained on data and values that reflect predominantly Western norms. From beauty filters promoting Eurocentric ideals to biased facial recognition tech, AI risks becoming a tool for cultural imperialism instead of a force for good.

In this essay, I explore how AI can unintentionally erase cultural diversity—and how we can stop it. Drawing on thinkers like Foucault, Said, and Sen, I look at real-world examples and suggest practical solutions like auditing AI datasets, creating customizable features, and setting global standards for cultural inclusivity in tech.
