What can medieval manuscripts teach us about artificial intelligence?

In this episode of Age of AI, Medlir speaks with Sonja Drimmer, a scholar of medieval European art, about the relationship between technology, knowledge, and power. 

Drawing on her research into illuminated manuscripts, authorship, and the making of literary canons, we explore how technologies shape what societies remember, how they interpret the past, and whom they consider authoritative.
