Marcel Schwittlick Excavates Critical AI History

“For me, it’s a kind of applied research or archaeology. At that point, humans showed the computer for the first time exactly what our world looks like. I found it to be a poetic gesture in retrospect. I emphasize this because I think it’s important.”
