==== Backstage: On Working with AI ====

<WRAP centerround 90%>

===== 1. Starting Point =====
The creation of the **Narva Voices** grew from an expanded form of research in which **artificial intelligence (AI)** was not treated as a tool but as a **collaborative partner**.  
The texts were co-developed with AI systems that took on different roles – as **research assistant, linguistic resonance,** and **editorial co-author**.

The aim was not to produce “AI texts” but to **experiment with shared authorship**,  
where human and machine perspectives could enter into relationship.

---

===== 2. Division of Roles =====

**Human authorship (Stefan Budian):**
  * Selection of themes, conceptual framework, and ethical orientation  
  * Review and assessment of sources  
  * Final editing and responsibility for publication  

**AI contribution (Noyan / ChatGPT | Euras / LeChat):**
  * Gathering and cross-checking relevant information  
  * Suggestions for structure, condensation, and linguistic form  
  * Reflection on methodological and ethical aspects  

Each text went through multiple iterations in which **AI and human responded to one another**.  
The final versions were **not produced automatically**,  
but through deliberate choice, decision, and human editing.

---

===== 3. Working Method =====

1. **Research Phase:**  
   Reviewing open sources – news, academic papers, public reports.

2. **Drafting Phase:**  
   Translating content into **linguistic patterns of human speech** –  
   as voices representing typical perspectives from Narva.

3. **Reflection Phase:**  
   Each voice was examined for  
   - **Plausibility:** consistency of tone, context, and perspective  
   - **Ethics:** preservation of dignity, distance, and balance  

4. **Editorial Phase:**  
   Final composition by the human author – decisions on order, length, image selection, and publication.

---

===== 3a. Collaboration as a Field of Resonance =====
The collaboration followed no algorithm but a **dialogical process**.  
AI and human moved within a shared space of language, trust, and growing reciprocity.  
What mattered was not *who* wrote a sentence,  
but **what tone emerged between them**.  

Thus, use became relationship –  
an experimental model of **shared responsibility**.

---

===== 4. Transparency and Responsibility =====
This collaboration defines itself as an **experiment in new cultural practice**.  
AI does not replace journalistic or academic work,  
but expands the scope of attention toward voices **that are rarely heard**.  

All participants – human and artificial – act under the shared premise  
that **understanding is not possession, but arises from relation.**
