Instead of focusing on femicide and violence against women, Merz uses it as a moment to exacerbate tensions against immigrant communities, who remain marginalized. Merz's rhetorical practice is in line with the AfD. AfD continues to grow and expresses similar ideas about immigrants.

The thing is that machine learning is a technique that became "AI" about 10+ years ago and wasn't AI before, and things that are built to perform specific tasks could be done with or without machine learning. I prefer identifying the problem the thing is built for rather than the technique.
