Cona Institute is committed to the compliant, ethical, and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in accordance with Slovenian and European legislation. As a non-profit cultural organisation undergoing digital transition, we use AI tools thoughtfully and always under human supervision. Our key principles regarding the use of AI are:
Supportive role of AI in administration and communication: We use AI solely as a tool to assist with administrative and communication tasks (e.g. drafting texts, organizing content, searching for information).
No AI in creative processes or decision-making: We do not use AI for artistic creation, automated decisionmaking, or the processing of personal data. All creative content and important decisions remain within the domain of human judgment.
Human oversight and review: All use of AI is supervised by members of the Cona team. Final content and decisions are always the result of editorial or professional human review, ensuring quality and ethical standards.
Responsibility of the Cona team: Full content and legal responsibility for published materials rests with the Cona team. Even when AI is used to prepare drafts, we take full responsibility for verifying facts, accuracy, and appropriateness of the final content.
Ethical and transparent use: We are committed to the ethical, responsible, and transparent use of digital tools. Where relevant, we will inform our audiences and partners about the use of AI in content development, fostering trust in new technologies.
Active adaptation: We will regularly review and, if needed, update this AI policy in line with new technical insights and legal developments at both national and European levels.
This policy is part of our broader commitment to the ethical use of technology in support of creativity. We see technology as a tool—not a substitute—for human knowledge, intuition, and artistic vision.
