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.

On Aristotle's Concept of Improvisation

Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology. 2015. Vol. 2. No. 1. P. 113–121.
Haas A.

Aristotle writes: 'Since to imitate is natural for us, as well as harmony and rhythm (for it is manifest that meters are proper parts of rhythms), from the beginning those most naturally inclined toward them, advancing little by little, generated ποίησιν out of improvisations'. But what is improvisation? It is neither just free play, nor doing what one wants--it is self-schematization, which has implications for all kinds of speaking and acting, thinking and being.

Nomos thereby emerges as the ontological principle of an infinite, variegated multiplicity of ...
