Warum KI keine Ahnung hat und trotzdem alles kann. 2023 fing die Künstliche Intelligenz an, zu schreiben und zu sprechen wie ein Mensch. Damit steht die Welt vor einem fundamentalen Umbruch. Unsere Zivilisation, die Art und Weise, wie wir leben und arbeiten, wird so stark verändert werden wie durch die Erfindung des Internets. Noch lässt sich nur erahnen, welches Ausmaß an Innovationen in allen Lebensbereichen nun möglich ist. Fest steht aber, dass wir diese technische und gesellschaftliche Revolution nur dann in unserem Sinne steuern können, wenn wir sie und ihre Pioniere kennen und verstehen.

Artificial intelligence is transforming human society fundamentally and profoundly.

Massenbewegungen, Aufstände und Revolutionen, Krisen, destabilisierte Länder - wie komplex und verwirrend die aktuellen Ereignisse auch erscheinen mögen, es geschieht nichts zufällig. Die Völker der Welt geben ihm viele Namen. Auch in der modernen Zeit führt er - nennen wir ihn einfach Teufel - seinen Kampf gegen die Menschheit. Er unterwandert Politik, Wirtschaft, Medien und die Religionen, sabotiert internationale und soziale Beziehungen, verdirbt Kunst, Kultur und Bildung. Er verführt die Jugend zu einer beeinflussbaren Masse - entwurzelt und haltlos.

For the past five years—ever since a chance encounter at a dinner party—journalist Byron Tau has been piecing together a secret story: how the whole of the internet and every digital device in the world became a mechanism of intelligence, surveillance, and monitoring.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the 21st century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

Deutschland rechts außen - eine Gefahr für uns alle. Die Gefahr, die von der AfD ausgeht, wird im öffentlichen Diskurs nicht abgebildet. Die Partei wird verharmlost, indem sie etwa als "rechtspopulistisch" bezeichnet wird. Dabei hat sie sich längst zu einer rechtsextremen Partei entwickelt. Ihre Gewaltbereitschaft wird regelmäßig ausgespart. Zugleich erzielt sie hohe Zustimmungswerte, und Vertreter:innen demokratischer Parteien grenzen sich nicht genügend von ihr ab. Cremer zeigt eine Entwicklung, die angesichts der deutschen Geschichte lange nicht für möglich gehalten wurde.

In May 2013, Glenn Greenwald set out for Hong Kong to meet an anonymous source who claimed to have astonishing evidence of pervasive government spying and insisted on communicating only through heavily encrypted channels. That source turned out to be the 29-year-old NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and his revelations about the agency’s widespread, systemic overreach proved to be some of the most explosive and consequential news in recent history, triggering a fierce debate over national security....

We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules.

In 1953, a top-secret manual teaching agents sleight-of-hand and other deception techniques was written for the CIA by America’s then most famous magician. All copies were believed destroyed by the CIA’s purge of the infamous MKULTRA documents in 1973, and there was no proof of the manual’s existence . . . until a copy was discovered among the CIA’s recently declassified archives. The manual in this work is thought to represent the only surviving copy of magician John Mulholland’s instructions.

We are able to configure privacy settings on our devices and social media platforms, but we know our efforts pale in comparison to the scale of surveillance capitalism and algorithmic manipulation. In our hyperconnected era, many have begun to wonder whether it is still possible to live a private life, or whether it is no longer worth fighting for. The Right to Oblivion argues incisively and persuasively that we still can and should strive for privacy, though for different reasons than we might think.

Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are on the rise. In an attempt to reinvent money as we know it, central bankers and other policymakers around the world are currently researching, developing, and launching CBDCs. The prospect has caught the attention of the president of the United States, Congress, international institutions, and government contractors, but the public has largely been left out of this development. That needs to change.
