Das Bild zeigt eine Darstellung eines von KI generierten Bildes eines kleines Dorfes. Die Häuser bestehen aus Steinblöcken und Reetdächern, in der Ferne sieht man einen Kirchturm. Die Szene ist etwas düster, schwarze Vögel fliegen über den Dächern. Die Häuser liegt im Schatten, die hinteren Häuser verlieren sich ein einem Grau, fast wie einem Nebel, der sich über die Gebäude legt. Der grobe Weg, der sich durch das Dorf schlängelt ist leer, keine Person ist zu sehen. Die Darstellung hat etwas holzschnittartiges oder gar scherenschnittartiges.

The painting shows a person standing on a staircase made of green and pink cubes, symbolising a Penrose staircase, in a cosmic environment. The person is reaching towards a glowing cross-shaped structure emitting binary code, representing AI's reach into the future. Surrounding the figure are outlined boxes showing various elements, such as glasses, medical tools, a self-driving car, and financial symbols, interconnected by white lines. The background is dark with star-like dots and features colour-coded boxes which mark different elements as relating to AI, human involvement, a combination of both, or an area uncharted by AI and humans.

Wie Künstliche Intelligenz uns den Wert menschlicher Gefühle lehrt

Drei Kränkungen der Menschheit zählt Sigmund Freud 1917 in Form einiger der bis dato bedeutendsten und disruptivsten wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen. Nun scheint uns Künstliche Intelligenz auf ähnliche Weise zu kränken und uns eine alte Frage in herausfordernder, doch chancenreicher Form von neuem zu stellen: Was macht den Menschen aus?

The left side incorporates a digital interface, showing code snippets, search queries, and comments referencing Woolf’s ideas, including discussions about Shakespeare’s fictional sister, Judith. The overlay of coding elements highlights modern interpretations of Woolf’s work through the lens of data and AI. The center depicts a dimly lit, minimalist room with a window, desk, and wooden floors and cupboards. The right side features a collage of Cambridge landmarks, historical photographs of women, and a black and white figure in Edwardian attire. There is a map of Cambridge in the background, which is overlayed with images of old fountain pens and ink, books, and a handwritten letter.

A young female character, representing a doll, in a school uniform who is illustrated in the Japanese artistic and cultural 'Kawaii' style. The bright doll with green eyes is in the palm of an anonymous and sinister figure and surrounded by darkness and shadow in contrast to her colourful uniform. There is a faint web-like pattern on the figures and the background.

How AI Creates Itself

When we talk to chatbots like ChatGPT they almost appear to be human. How is that even possible? Some of the clues lie in how they use language, how they address us, and how they talk about themselves.

Is all life intelligent?

A recent publication illuminates facts and fiction in the controversy about a 'new biology' of the mind, where Andreas Draguhn provides a critical account of the 'new biology’ and concludes that blurring the distinction between mental processes (operations on internal representations) and merely adaptive mechanisms (biological reactions to changing conditions) are different and should be distinguished.

Help! My vacuum cleaner is intelligent!

While science-fiction movies about artificial intelligence tell us that intelligent machines might soon take over (as does Elon Musk) and are a danger for humanity, science is still debating about what 'intelligence' actually is. Are humans really intelligent? Or is an elephant, a bird, a fish?
