„The history of artificial intelligence (AI) dates back to the 1950s, when researchers first began working on the development of intelligent machines. Since then, AI has evolved significantly, and it has become an integral part of our daily lives. In this seminar, we will explore the history of AI, from its early beginnings to the present day. We will examine the key milestones that have shaped the development of AI, as well as the challenges and controversies that have emerged along the way. We will also discuss the current state of AI and its potential future impact on society. By the end of this seminar, you will have a deeper understanding of the history of AI and its place in the world today.“
The seminar description above was not written by me, the teacher of this course, but is the result of my request on the Chat.OpenAI.com website: "Write an introductory text to a seminar on the history of AI". AI writing the texts for a seminar on the history of AI: Is this the hard reality we have to accept and live with from here on?
What we're really going to do in this course is: problematize, critique, and destabilize AI beyond the capabilties of artificial intelligence-systems. We will ask what the term intelligence really means in the context of AI research and how it has changed over the history of computing. We will address the exploitative practices that underlie contemporary AI systems, the industry behind them, and the political interests and neo-colonial ideologies. In short, together we will experience a seminar on the history of AI for which an AI cannot write the seminar text.
