How to make artificial intelligence more human
The relationship between humans and machines, especially in the context of artificial intelligence (AI), is characterized by hopes, concerns and moral questions. On the one hand, advances in AI offer great hope: It promises solutions to complex problems, improved healthcare, more efficient workflows and much more. But at the same time, there are legitimate concerns about control over this technology, its potential impact on jobs and society, as well as ethical issues related to discrimination and the loss of human autonomy. The lecture will highlight and illustrate the complex tension between innovation and moral responsibility in AI research.
