When should I label content as “AI-generated”?
In previous articles, we wrote about what the AI Act broadly means for cultural organizations and about the rules for large AI models like ChatGPT and Claude. Now, there is a new step: the European Commission has established agreements on when and how AI-generated content should be labeled. This is relevant if you, as a museum, archive, theater, festival, or concert venue, use AI for text, image, audio, or video. This legislation will come into effect on August 2, 2026. So read along.

Get started with vibe coding yourself
Vibe coding might sound like something for developers. But people without a technical background are building functional tools with it: a form, a quiz, an overview page.

In this article, we share some important insights and tips.
Vibe coding: building a digital tool yourself without being able to program
You have a great idea for a tool. A tool that perfectly fits your organization: a registration form that cleverly redirects, an internal planning instrument, an interactive map for your festival. But hiring a developer costs money, and there’s not always enough budget for it. Or: standard packages don’t (quite) do what you want. Vibe coding can offer a solution to this. In this article, we explain what vibe coding is, what the advantages and disadvantages are, and how you can apply it.

And 46% of Gen Z prefers social media over traditional search engines (eMarketer). We explain what this means for your work as a cultural marketer.
