We are proud to announce the launch of AI Futures of Culture and Memory.

The initiative is one of five newly established research clusters funded under the , which supports research on the societal implications of artificial intelligence. The projects will run over a five-year period.

"The call for proposals was an opportunity to rethink our research interests and expand our networks", says Coppélie Cocq, professor at Humlab and co-PI.

The cluster aims to ensure that AI’s integration into cultural life is ethical, inclusive, and sustainable. Researchers will address key issues such as transparency in AI development, bias mitigation, and the representation of diverse voices.

Through exhibitions, artistic performances, public lectures, and educational initiatives, the cluster seeks to engage both academic and broader audiences. The cluster also supports early-career researchers through coordinated doctoral and postdoctoral positions across the participating universities.

The initiative is a collaboration between five Swedish universities: Uppsala University, Chalmers University of Technology, Linnaeus University, Umeå University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

The cluster is led by a team of principal investigators: Anna Foka (CDHU, UU – Cluster Director), Coppélie Cocq (Humlab, Umeå University), Koraljka Golub (Linnaeus University), Andre Holzapfel (KTH), and Kıvanç Tatar (Chalmers).

In addition to its national foundation, the cluster will collaborate with an international network of academic partners and guest professors. Through this integrated approach, AI Futures of Culture and Memory aims to shape a future in which technological innovation enriches, rather than diminishes, our shared cultural heritage and creative expression.
