Dear reader

We are delighted that you also read our newspaper online. As it is important to us that this is possible regardless of the financial situation of the respective user, we have deliberately decided not to charge for our Internet access. We all work on a voluntary basis – nevertheless, the production and dispatch of our newspapers, the maintenance of our online presence and, in some cases, the translations are associated with costs.
With every donation you help us to continue this endeavour.

Thank you very much!

Amendment

In Current Concerns No. 3, the article «AI – it’s not intelligent!» (Eliane Perret) was missing the following footnote:

I borrowed the term “simulated intelligence” from Professor Dr Hans Köchler from: Köchler, Hans. (2024). Die Triviali-sierung des Öffentlichen. Kulturanthropologische Überlegungen zum Digitalzeitalter. Ein Vortrag. (The trivialisation of the public. Cultural anthropological reflections on the digital age. A lecture.) Publisher: IPO International Progress Organization. p. 18 (of the German original) ISBN 978-3-900704-38-4.

There it says: “The latest stage in the development of digital technology is the promotion of ‘artificial intelligence’ (AI), which should actually be called SI – simulated intelligence.”
