'AI Could Develop Its Own Will to Survive'

Any tips, tricks or hacks regarding the use of AI?

Stay playful, network, also and especially analogue, take care of your data and: don't procrastinate with it too much.

What AI tool should be invented for you?

I'm still dissatisfied with the visualisation of ideas - I totally prefer human art.

Love or hate: Technology smarter than humans aka AGI?

I think we will only achieve true AGI when technology and biology merge. By integrating biological components, an AI could develop its own will to survive based on biological principles. This would be a turning point, making AI not only more intelligent, but also more autonomous and potentially able to pursue its own goals.

Although this offers fascinating possibilities for the further development of AI, it also harbours considerable risks. Such a scenario could mean that AGI develops its own interests that are not necessarily aligned with those of humanity. It is therefore crucial that we develop ethical guidelines and oversight mechanisms now to ensure that any form of advanced AI we create is safe and in line with our fundamental values.

Do you believe AI will bring a bigger technological revolution than the internet?

It is hard to imagine artificial intelligence without the internet, as the two technologies are closely intertwined. The internet has revolutionised data collection and distribution, which forms the basis for advances in AI. In this sense, it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem when you think about which technology is more important.

However, I see the advancement of AI as a kind of media revolution that particularly affects knowledge workers and could have an impact comparable to the industrial revolution. This revolution is transforming how we create, process and distribute knowledge. In the long term, especially if we couple AI with biology, this technology could change our society even more profoundly. Then we are not just talking about a technological revolution, but an evolution of the way we interact and exist as humans.

Who'll make the race for spearheading AI in 10 years? e.G. Microsoft, OpenAI etc.

Is AI more of a chance or a challenge for humanity?

I see artificial intelligence as both an opportunity and a challenge, similar to other technological advances in history. The opportunities offered by AI are impressive - as are the challenges, such as the handling of privacy and data, the security of the technology and the social impact, for example on the labour market. This duality requires careful consideration and regulation to ensure that the development of AI progresses for the benefit of all.
