    How do AI-generated images influence political communication? And why does the far right make particularly frequent use of artificially created visual worlds?

    Roland Meyer, DIZH Bridge Professor at UZH and ZHdK, discusses the ideological and aesthetic affinity between right-wing politics and generative AI in two recent podcast episodes.


    "Tending to the Right? On the Visual Language of Artificial Intelligence"
    In the podcast SOZUSAGEN (in German) by Bayerischer Rundfunk, Roland Meyer explains why right-wing actors worldwide use AI image generators to create heroic and hyperrealistic visual worlds.

    "AI slop and the new fascist aesthetic"
    In the podcast In Bed with the Right by the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, Roland Meyer discusses the spread and impact of such images with hosts Moira Donegan and Adrian Daub.
