Use of artificial intelligence

Why this page exists

The EU AI Act requires that artificially generated or manipulated image, audio and video content be made recognisable as such. Shadow Guide Berlin deals with historical subjects, so it matters that visitors can tell the difference between a historical record and a digitally generated or edited depiction.

No image on this website should be treated as an unaltered historical source unless it is explicitly described as one. Edited visuals are illustrative, not documentary.

AI-generated content

Created entirely with generative AI:

• Social preview imageThe preview image shown when links to this website are shared was generated entirely with AI. It does not depict a real scene or a historical photograph.

AI-edited content

These visuals are based on existing material but were altered with AI tools:

• Eagle illustration (home page and tour page)A graphic motif edited and cut out using AI tools.
• Soldier relief image (home page)An image of a relief, edited and cut out using AI tools.
• Gallery of the "Capital of the Third Reich" tourThe photographs in this gallery were processed with AI-assisted tools — retouching, restoration, sharpening and colour work. Details may therefore differ from the original source material.

Content made without AI

The website favicon and the logo were created by a human designer.

The texts on this site are written by the guide and based on his own research and cited sources. Where language tools were used for wording or translation, the content is editorially reviewed and a natural person remains responsible for it.

No automated decision-making

This website runs no AI systems that analyse, score or classify visitors. There is no emotion recognition, no biometric processing and no automated decision-making. There is no chatbot; every enquiry is answered by a person.
