In the 1970s, scientists claimed that farm animal breeding was finally evolving from an art into a science. In their view, the switch to scientific breeding was as inevitable as the ongoing process of agricultural modernization. However, the art-to-science scenario is too simplistic to do justice to the complex dynamic that characterized the transformation of the field. The livestock breeds that take centre stage in this book – dairy cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep, and horses – were products of the twentieth century. The methods used by breeders to improve their animals, however, were much older. Tracing the history of practical stockbreeding, the role of Mendelism in scientific breeding, and the emergence of quantitative genetics, Beauty or Statistics shows that the story of the scientific modernization of livestock breeding can be more fruitfully analysed from the perspective of changing cultures of breeding, taking practical, commercial, normative, and aesthetic considerations into account.

The special issue of c't KI-Praxis provides tests and practical instructions for working with chatbots. It explains why language models make mistakes and how they can be minimised. This not only helps when you send questions and orders to one of the chatbots offered online. If you do not want to or are not allowed to use the cloud services for data protection reasons, for example, you can also set up your own voice AI. The c't editorial team explains where to find a suitable voice model, how to host it locally and which service providers can host it. The fact that generative AI is becoming increasingly productive harbours both opportunities and risks. Suitable rules for the use of AI in schools, training and at work help to exploit opportunities and minimise risks.

Der Band enthält alle Beiträge, die für die 12. Jahrestagung 'Künstliche Intelligenz' (GWAI-88) vom Programmkomitee akzeptiert worden sind. Die 29 Fachbeiträge werden von drei eingeladenen Hauptvorträgen ergänzt: B. Bartsch-Spörl untersucht den augenblicklichen Entwicklungsstand von KI-Systemen, die in der Praxis eingesetzt werden, und zeigt Perspektiven für die zukünftige Entwicklung auf; J. Funke geht auf den methodologischen Unterschied zwischen Kognitionswissenschaften und KI-Forschung ein; P. Levi stellt neue Planungsverfahren für mehrere autonome Agenten als Teilgebiete der Robotik dar. Die Fachbeiträge sind in erster Linie den Teilgebieten Wissensrepräsentation und Natürlichsprachliche Systeme zuzuordnen, zwei Bereiche, auf denen in der Bundesrepublik traditionell intensiv geforscht wird. Vier Beiträge stellen neue Methoden aus dem Feld der niederen Bilddeutung vor. Neben diesen Schwerpunkten enthält der Band auch Arbeiten aus den Gebieten Maschinelles Lernen, Kognition, Deduktion und KI-Programmierung. In einer Zeit, in der die KI-Forschung in der Bundesrepublik einen enormen Aufschwung erlebt, ist gerade auch eine kritische Einschätzung der Forschungssituation wünschenswert. Die letzten vier Beiträge des Bandes sind deshalb Positionspapiere zum Thema 'Grenzen der KI', die während einer Podiumsdiskussion auf der GWAI-88 diskutiert wurden. Die Hälfte der Beiträge dieses Bandes ist deutsch, die andere Hälfte englisch abgefaßt.
