Culture and technology make a social impact in the modern world, affecting diverse communities and enabling the important act of sharing between individuals. That's why Ars Electronica and the CultTech Association have created the Award for Social Impact Projects in Culture and Technology. We support the power of innovation and creativity, in order to bring about positive social change. The CultTech Summit also has the potential to advance knowledge, cooperation and thus social change, so I wish all participants good luck at this inaugural event.

AI will be shaping our future and with the EU AI Act, there is a first comprehensive legal framework in place which will help us shaping the future. The first steps have been taken, but AI is evolving rapidly and raising new questions. The EU AI Act is inviting the stakeholders across all industries to take part in the ongoing process. It is a great opportunity that the upcoming CultTech Summit will offer a platform across industries, from artists, lawyers, providers, developers etc. to jointly discuss and define an AI shaped future.

We live in disruptive times. Nothing will ever be the same. The present is best viewed from the future. CultTech Association builds bridges between the culture of today and that of tomorrow. The CultTech Summit is a chance to experience this bridging.

Often there is not so much interaction between artists and scientists, which sometimes leads to a fear of technology. The world is changing, and although we use technology in music, it's not about demonstrating it, it's about showing the artistic work in a new way — so we need a dialogue between artists and scientists, and that's exactly what CultTech Association offers at its events. I think the CultTech Summit will open up these discussions and share our findings with a wider audience, so come and experience it for yourself.

The CultTech Association has been promoting culture through technology and business for many years. Its accelerator has identified, selected and supported dozens of CultTech start-ups. At the upcoming CultTech Summit we will see a new batch of graduates from the CultTech Accelerator, as well as a full programme of discussions and cultural events - it should be a great experience to attend.

The question of the origin of creativity and inspiration is becoming increasingly important, especially with recent advances in foundational AI. CultTech's work programme is designed to address these fundamental questions through projects at the intersection of art and science. I'm really excited to be part of this programme and I'm pleased to see that the CultTech Summit is becoming a very important, dynamic and vibrant space to discuss the opportunities arising in this area with the development of modern technologies.

The rapid development of AI calls for research into its role in modern music. I’ve had the chance to join several in-depth discussions on this topic organized by the CultTech Association. It’s vital to have technicians who understand music and musicians who are familiar with new technologies. Furthermore, we need people who can connect the development and creative use of AI-powered tools. The CultTech Summit is the place where people can come together to advance culture, including music, with the help of technology.
