10 Jul DWG Symposium in Berlin Recap
AI IN MARKET COMMUNICATION – POTENTIAL FOR CONFUSION, CONTACT AND MISUNDERSTANDING
On July 4 eye square was honored to host the 12th DWG-Effizienztag at its Berlin headquarters. Under the motto “KI IN DER MARKTKOMMUNIKATION – VERWIRRUNGS-, BERÜHRUNGS- UND ENTFREMDUNGSPOTENTIAL” (AI in Market Communication – Potential for Confusion, Contact, and Alienation) and moderated by Prof. Jürgen Schulz from Hochschule der Künste this unique transdisciplinary conference brought together experts from science, technology, media, arts, and theology.
The event showcased a comprehensive exploration of AI’s multifaceted impact on market communication, addressing both its potential and its challenges. The discussions showed the advances of new technologies and their application, while underscoring the significance of human touch and human judgment for making AI truly useful and not drown in an ocean of new, fake or downright harmful results.

DWG Master Thesis Award
Denise Graf was awarded the DWG Master Thesis Award for her thesis on the relevance of customer satisfaction studies in the AI era, advocating for the use of actual behavioral data over traditional surveys. Graf argued in her thesis that traditional surveys are often resource-intensive and may intrude on customers time and data, proposing the use of actual behavioral data as a valid alternative. Her research highlighted the potential of AI to revolutionize customer satisfaction studies by providing more accurate and actionable insights at lower cost.

“The creative process made it possible to stage the people completely decentrally in 3D software and set up the lighting without any of the participants actually having to be present. I like the glitches created by the AI because they show the digital process that these portraits have gone through.”
_Dennis Rudolph, Media Artist
This poster was commissioned by CEO Michael Schiessl, who felt that the announcement of the DWG AI Symposium needed an aesthetic that reflected the topic of the conference.
Artist Dennis Rudolph uploaded photos of the speakers to an online AI application, where they were transformed into 3D portraits. The composition of the title poster was created using 3D software.
After consultation with everyone involved and some feedback on corporate identity from the DWG, the portrait of one of the speakers was replaced – he said he didn’t recognize himself. His new AI edition looked much older and sterner, but was also much more like him. It seemed like the AI only enhanced certain features that stood out.
