“Get inside the box to think out of the box” With these words, the German Museum of Books and Writing invites visitors to step inside the AI Box and try out a wide range of AI applications, right in the museum's foyer. The author Thomas Ramge has written that “Artificial intelligence cannot take thinking away from us”, yet it remains one of the goals of AI to automate human thought. But what happens if we actually manage to translate thought processes into machine-programmable processes? Will it be a curse or a blessing?

The Museum’s AI Box puts research findings related to the exhibition and the project into perspective within the issue as a whole, making them accessible in order to prompt wider public reflection on AI. There are many ways to play with and expand the AI Box. At present, the AI Box takes up issues from the temporary exhibition, Translation: from Babylon to DeepL, the Europe of Languages (German Museum of Books and Writing, 16 March 2021 to 29 January 2022), illuminating new perspectives on the future of translating. Visitors can get to know how machine translation works by playing with it.
