This AI-generated podcast discusses the role of algorithms in our cultural decisions. Elaborated with a text by Pau Rausell [In English]

This text argues for a "European algorithmic sovereignty" to ensure that algorithms used for cultural recommendations are not controlled by large corporations and serve to promote diversity and sustainability within cultural ecosystems. It highlights the limitations of current recommendation systems that focus on individual preferences based on past behaviour and lack transparency, leading to a concentration of attention on a few products and limited opportunities for innovation. The author proposes that users should be active co-creators of algorithms that are explainable and reflect both individual and societal values, thereby empowering them to reclaim control over their cultural choices and foster a more diverse and equitable cultural landscape.
