# AI Zeitgeist

> What the world says about AI, one line at a time. A running wall of short verbatim fragments from the global conversation about artificial intelligence: predictions, warnings, ad slogans, politicians' lines, research jargon, single words. Every line is dated and links to its source. Updated daily at 12:00 Europe/Berlin. Made in Cologne by Büro Bloock Design GmbH.

Two sets: the canon (curated, timeless) and the news (distilled daily from about seventy sources, retired from the wall after 30 days, kept in the archive). No daily quota. Quotes are verbatim: the exact wording appears in the linked source.
