The presentation titled “Training to Deal with Otherness” is the result of the work in three study programs dealing with design and/of technology: the Integrated Design BA and MA program of KISD, the Code & Context program of TH Köln, and the Hybrid Things Lab of Hochschule Augsburg.

The presented projects constitute explorations of the absurdities of automation, the realities of faked automation (or fauxtomation), the hidden human labor behind artificial intelligence, as well as practical approaches towards interactive AI and the complex entanglement of teaching machines and being taught by them.
