KI als kultureller Stabilisator

This working paper proposes a fundamental reorientation of Artificial Intelligence: from performance amplification to cultural stabilization. It argues that the central challenge of modern societies is not a lack of intelligence, but a recurring loss of integrative capacity—manifested in historical cycles of polarization, regression, and ethical fragmentation.

Against this background, the paper introduces a three-stage conceptual development: the Friedensmal (a spatial memory structure embodied in stone), the Klanghain (a resonance-based experiential field), and dialogical AI as a dynamic stabilizer of cultural maturity. Drawing on dialogical philosophy, particularly Martin Buber’s relational framework, AI is explored not as a tool for control or optimization, but as a potential medium for sustaining dialogical capacity, complexity tolerance, and long-term coherence.

The paper situates AI within a broader cultural and anthropological context and outlines the conditions under which dialogically oriented AI systems could contribute to maintaining ethical and civilizational continuity in times of accelerated technological change.
