Artificial intelligence - hardly any other topic is currently as controversial as the question of whether AI systems could one day take over the world. Justified concern? Dr. Kim Lauenroth talks about this in the new "flurFHunk" podcast from Fachhochschule Dortmund.
In conversation with "flurFHunk" hosts Tilman Abegg and Jana Klüh, Kim Lauenroth explains why we shouldn't be unsettled by Hollywood scenarios such as "Terminator" or "Star Wars". Although we have been strongly influenced by pop culture, an AI that strives for world domination on its own is not currently in sight. Rather, it is about realistically assessing what AI can actually achieve - and what it cannot.
From ChatGPT to regulation by the AI Act
Kim Lauenroth explains in an understandable and clear way how AI systems work and why, despite their impressive capabilities, they are still a long way from human consciousness. He talks about current developments in AI research and the importance of regulatory approaches such as the European Union's AI Act.
Recognizing opportunities instead of stirring up fears
Instead of getting lost in dystopian future scenarios, Kim Lauenroth advocates focusing on the potential of AI: Whether in overcoming the shortage of skilled workers, providing support in everyday life or developing new digital solutions - AI offers numerous opportunities to make our lives better.
