Immersed in the heart of the digital revolution, this mini book analyses how artificial intelligence is reshaping artistic creation, the economy of cultural industries and our relationship to diversity. It explores the meteoric rise of generative systems, their ability to amplify imagination and the risks of homogenisation due to Anglo centric training data. International surveys reveal soaring adoption and the widening gap between North and South, while field studies show how AI can also safeguard traditions, as in a virtual Thai silk museum.

Page after page, the author confronts promises of productivity and democratisation with darker realities : digital colonialism, unconsented appropriation of works, precarious creative jobs and legal uncertainty. The analysis highlights recent controversies - from the outcry over GPT 5's launch to lawsuits over training data - and proposes concrete pathways towards ethical governance : balanced regulation, cultural sovereignty, education, linguistic diversity and humanist innovation.
