Hannah Arendt was a political thinker (Arendt, & Gaus, 1964; Weißpflug, 2019) whose reflections can be applied to different contexts and are relevant to different disciplines. In the current AI debate, Arendt is also often used as a theoretical reference point when the impact of new technologies on politics and society are examined (e.g., Gordon & Becevel, 2021; Leins, 2019). Particularly in the context of AI being described as a threat to a democratic society (Coeckelbergh, 2022), Arendt’s reflections on totalitarianism help to provide a different perspective on the new technology.
