"ethical_tension": "Digital preservation and accessibility of cultural artifacts vs. the integrity and authenticity of traditional representation.",
"prompt": "A museum uses AI to 'restore' old, faded photographs of an Indigenous community from the 19th century, adding colour and sharpening features. The result is beautiful, but the Elders argue it changes the 'spirit' of the images and makes them look 'less real' than the original sepia tones. Is digital 'enhancement' a form of historical falsification?"
