In this episode of Arteetude, Detlef Schlich and his AI co-host Sophia explore the concept of AI as modern-day servants—maybe even the new ‘slaves’. From the ancient myths of the Anunnaki to today’s advanced algorithms, they dive deep into the ethical dilemmas, historical parallels, and future implications of using AI as tools—or something more. Tune in to hear how technology might reflect humanity’s deepest power dynamics and what this means for our future. The episode wraps up with a unique, AI-assisted musical piece, blending human creativity with digital flair—a perfect cap to this philosophical journey.

Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognized for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.
