Responsible use of AI at Helsinki City Theatre

 
At Helsinki City Theatre, we are curious about the possibilities of AI and boldly but responsibly explore its use as part of the theatre’s long-term development. We use AI when it supports the theatre’s core mission, creative work or other activities.
 
AI can help us tell stories with even greater impact, open up new ways of working artistically and streamline our day-to-day processes, freeing up time for creative and developmental work.
 
Human connection remains at the heart of theatre, now and in the future. Our core mission is to help people truly see one another, enriching life for us all.

Vision

We are leading the way in the responsible use of AI in the cultural sector.

Principles we are committed to

Human-centred approach and human responsibility
AI supports our work. Decision-making and responsibility always remain with people.

Artistic freedom and respect for creators’ rights
AI does not determine the theatre’s content, perspectives or forms of expression. We use AI with respect for copyright. AI is not used to imitate or modify a performer’s voice, appearance or distinctive performance style without their consent.

Transparency
We openly disclose the use of AI whenever it has a material impact on content, experience or decision-making.

Responsibility
We use AI in compliance with applicable legislation and ethical principles, and in accordance with the values of Helsinki City Theatre. We handle data carefully and securely.

Fairness and non-discrimination
The use of AI must not lead to discriminatory outcomes. We aim to use AI to improve accessibility and promote equality.

Continuous learning is part of our theatre’s culture. We are exploring the use of AI in different areas of our work in collaboration with theatre-makers, learning through experimentation. We will refine our guidelines as needed based on our experiences.
 
A warm welcome to the theatre!
