After presenting at the EU Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy, in October 2019 I was asked by former ZKM curator Freddy Paul Grunert to join an adviser team to think about a research project around artificial intelligence. We were to have a four-day workshop at the JRC facility in the Lombardia region when the pandemic hit there hard. The project had to be rethought, and through online sessions it was finally decided to produce a book about AI and its difficult relation to the humanities. I reviewed part of the articles and wrote a text about the human factor (specifically emotions) in AI. The book came out as open access publication in 2022 at the NOEMA lab.
