The topic of »Artificial Intelligence« is mostly discussed with a view to the performance of the machine. The question then is which human performance an »AI« can replace. In more dramatic form, threat scenarios are occasionally drawn, ranging from mass unemployment to the dystopian self-empowerment of machines.
The talk will take a different perspective: Perhaps systems like ChatGPT merely reflect the degree of automation that the human working world has reached – instead of a supposed humanity of the machine, the »dehumanization« of human activities comes into focus.
