The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live and work. AI is enabling ground-breaking innovations in areas such as medicine, transportation and communication and can make working and everyday life much easier. Whether it's a difficult letter to the neighbors, an appealing presentation for a business customer or perhaps this very announcement text - the use of AI can be an enrichment in many situations.
At the same time, the rapid pace of development poses major challenges for society. Fundamental ethical questions, systematic misjudgements in algorithms (so-called bias), which often lead to discrimination and, last but not least, effects on the labor market, call into question unrestrained development at any price. In addition, the latest technologies, which are getting better and better at understanding what we think and feel, raise completely new questions, from data protection to the freedom of our thoughts.
Technology journalist and long-time AI expert Janosch Delcker explains technical innovations, social contexts, opportunities and risks of AI in his book "The Thought Code". Janosch Delcker reads from his book and talks about it with journalist, news anchor and presenter André Schünke, who is also a volunteer for media education in schools and for young people.
Together with the audience, they will discuss rules that can protect our basic rights and give practical tips for everyday life that enable the sustainable use of AI - without losing control of our thinking.
