Künstliche Intelligenz(en) denken mit Vilém Flusser
In 2024, my article “Artistic Intelligence versus Artificial Intelligence” on the relationship between creativity and artificial intelligence published in the Art Nodes issue no. 34 on Materiology and Variantology: invitation to dialogue – already with references to Vilém Flusser. In the following article, I will supplement the considerations presented there with topics related to AI in relation to work, education, culture, and humanity. The topics of AI and creativity, AI and culture, and AI and work point to a problematic current state of affairs, while the topics of AI and education and AI and humanity can be read as recommendations for dealing with AI in the future. Among others, Flusser's essays “Hochschulen“ (Universities), “Ästhetische Erziehung“ (Aesthetic Education), and “Rückschlag des Werkzeugs auf das Bewusstsein“ (The Backlash of the Tool on Consciousness) are cited.
