Note on the Use of Generative AI

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) was used in the research, development, preparation and presentation of selected content for this project. This included, among other things, support with research and the structuring of information, the development of texts and creative content, as well as the technical and visual presentation of selected project results. AI was used as a tool and its use was critically accompanied by the participants and the project team. Historical content and statements were not adopted from AI systems without verification, but were researched, contextualised and, where necessary, corrected on the basis of appropriate sources.

A particular focus of the project is the question of what opportunities, but also what limitations and risks, generative AI presents when engaging with history. The results presented on this website should therefore also be understood as a reflection on these possibilities and limitations. We aim to make the use of AI transparent while encouraging visitors to critically engage with digital content – regardless of whether it was created by humans or with the support of AI.
