_With a foreword by Reto Wettach

Today, numerous human competencies can be implemented in software cheaply, efficiently, quickly and on a large scale. These dynamic processes and new forms of individual use also present us with new challenges. In her text, Charlotte Singer-Fischer describes the rapid development of intelligent systems. Between the Lines is a tour d’horizon in the field of intelligent systems from a designer’s perspective.

The author describes vividly and based on her own experiments what this means for our language. Excerpts from Orwell’s novel 1984 run through her text and remind us of the manipulative potential of artificial intelligence. She works out that these are neither to be feared nor condemned, neither idealized nor ignored: what matters is how we change technology through use.
