At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

Предисловие

.
Шпенглер О.
Translator: Rutkevich A. M.

In a short essay "Man and Technology" (1931), Oswald Spengler, continuing the discussion of the cyclical nature of world history and the decline of great civilizations that he began in his treatise "The Decline of the West," raises the question of the essence of technology for the first time. By examining different stages of human society's development, he departs from the common instrumental understanding of technology, instead referring to it as any purposeful activity or "tactics of life" associated with the struggle for power, as described by Nietzsche. Thus, the Western European and North American "Faustian" culture has subjugated nature and other countries through the use of machinery, creating conditions for an inevitable ecological collapse. According to Spengler, the Western nations have become victims of their own technology: "The master of the world has become a slave to the machine."
