The Muthesius Kunsthochschule in Kiel is hosting an exhibition titled “In Digital We Trust”, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), art, and digital trust. Running from April 17 to May 17, 2025, the event includes workshops, discussions, and creative experiments examining AI’s societal impact[1]. The exhibition coincides with Kiel’s Digitale Woche, a festival highlighting digital innovation[2].
Exhibition Highlights and Workshops
The “In Digital We Trust” exhibition features interactive installations and workshops addressing generative AI tools, ethical implications, and digitalization trends. A key component is the KI-Salon series, a forum for AI debates and hands-on sessions like “KI Meets Küche”, blending creative and technical exploration[3]. The 4th KI-Salon, scheduled for November 20, 2024, will further discuss trust in AI systems[4].
Workshops during the exhibition include:
- Generative AI tool demonstrations (May 13, 2024, at Kiel museums)[5].
- Collaborations with the DLC Art Lab, focusing on AI-driven art techniques[6].
Relevance to Security Professionals
While the event is artistically oriented, its exploration of AI trust models and generative tools offers insights for security teams. For example, discussions on AI-generated content could inform defenses against deepfake-based social engineering. The workshops also touch on data integrity in AI systems, a growing concern for enterprise security[7].
Key takeaways for practitioners:
- AI Trust Models: The KI-Salon debates may reveal new attack vectors in AI-dependent systems.
- Generative AI Risks: Workshops highlight the dual-use potential of tools like Stable Diffusion for malicious content creation.
Future Implications
The Muthesius Kunsthochschule’s initiatives reflect broader trends in AI’s cultural and security dimensions. Upcoming events like the Einblick Ausblick 2024 (July 18–21) will further examine generative AI[8]. These discussions could shape policies around AI ethics and secure deployment in creative industries.
