Learning German

Linguistics

German Idioms

Every language has idioms or sayings that don't really make much sense when translated directly into other languages. Comparing an idiom with its word-for-word translation in another language can still be entertaining. Here are some German idioms not to be taken too literally!

Artificial Intelligence

Technology Meets Education

Facebook Endows AI Ethics Institute at TUM

Facebook, Inc. is funding an Institute dedicated to the ethics of artificial intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany, the first institute of its kind. Facebook is already delving into the AI realm, but especially in light of recent events, is devoting time and money to investigate the consequences of these technological innovations.
