Quotes (our translation)

"Humanity at the center: Disarming AI through education!"

[original: "Menschlichkeit in den Mittelpunkt: Durch Bildung KI entwaffnen!"]

— Prof. Klaus Zierer, Chair of School Pedagogy, University of Augsburg

"Perhaps we should not speak of AI (artificial intelligence), because this system has nothing to do with intelligence, but rather of AD (automated data processing) or SPM (statistical prediction models) — then perhaps trust in this technology would be broken."

[original: "Vielleicht sollte man nicht von KI sprechen (künstliche Intelligenz), denn mit Intelligenz hat dieses System nichts zu tun, sondern von AD (automatisierte Datenverarbeitung) oder SVM (statistische Vorhersagemodelle), dann wäre vielleicht das Vertrauen in diese Technik gebrochen."]

— Helmuth Kern & Bert Hauser, InfoMobilFunk Neckartenzlingen (diagnose:funk commentary)
