This week, our colleagues Anna Köhler & Carolin Volz are traveling to Dresden for the international symposium of the project "The Answering Machine."
There, they present their experimental #podcast project during a poster session: "(Re-)Creating a Comedy Podcast Using Generative AI," offering insights into both the production process and initial findings.

The symposium “Teaming Up with Generative AI: From Tool Use to Partnership” marks the conclusion of the interdisciplinary research project “The Answering Machine.”
Researchers and practicioners discuss how generative AI is transforming collaboration, creativity, and communication—and how it is increasingly understood not just as a tool, but as a partner.
In their project, Anna Köhler & Carolin Volz focus on how authenticity and credibility can be established in AI-generated formats from a rhetorical perspective.
They share insights from hands-on work with GenAI tools for audio production, including first results, production experiences, and audience reactions.
