What happens to human identity when algorithms start defining beauty, symmetry and how we perceive ourselves?

In this edition of AI & The Human Future, host Mirela Bocanet brings together three expert perspectives—Just Kjærgård Pedersen, Kåre Bjørn Jensen,and Thorsten Westphal to unpack the profound shift from editing photos to generating synthetic human baselines.

In this live panel edition, we break down:

• Can Beauty Be Computed? The math behind facial symmetry, the average face preference and cross-cultural aesthetic biases.

• The Shifting Baseline: How generative AI model loops risk homogenizing global beauty standards and causing model collapse.

• The Human Fingerprint: Why wrinkles, scars and real-world friction create true recognition and emotional resonance over polished perfection.

• Co-Creation & Judgment: Using AI tools without losing individual direction, agency and authentic expression.

• Legal & Ethical Boundaries: Copyright in AI art, EU AI Act watermarking and preserving human-to-human connection in an automated world.
