    Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been embraced enthusiastically by Africans as a new resource for African development. AI could improve well-being by enabling innovation in business, education, health, ecology, urban planning, industry, etc. However, the high expectations could be little more than pious wishes. There are still too many open questions regarding the transfer required, and the selection of appropriate technology and its mastery. Given that the 'technology transfer' concept of modernization theories of the 1960s utterly failed because it had not been adapted to local needs, some scholars have called for an endogenous concept of African AI. However, this caused a lot of controversies. Africa became a battlefield of 'digital empires' of global powers due to its virtually non-existent digital infrastructure. Still, African solutions to African problems would be needed. Additionally, the dominant narratives and default settings of AI-related technologies have been denounce

    Abstract: Kitsch wird hier zunächst ästhetiktheoretisch betrachtet, vor allem anhand von Kant. Er wird als Tabu in Hinblick auf die Reinhaltung des Geschmacksurteils vom Interesse dargestellt. Es wird untersucht, inwiefern und inwieweit Kitsch der Entwicklung von Geschmack dient. Dabei wird herausgearbeitet, dass die vorschnelle Verwendung des Prädikats "Kitsch" Genuss verbauen kann. Es wird auf den Interessenkonflikt zwischen den Geschmackvollen und jenen, die aus unterschiedlichen Gründen der Kitschigkeit zum Opfer fallen, eingegangen. Neben der Bedeutung des Kitsch in der Kunst bzw. dem Diskurs über kulturelle Entwicklung wird auf die kulturelle Bedeutung des lebensweltlichen Genusses eingegangen, der oft - teils zu Unrecht - der Kitschigkeit besonders verdächtig erscheint
