Europa im Diskurs - Debating Europe

Artificial Intelligence: Soon Smarter than Us?

They reply to our e-mails, finish our homework, support scientific research, and even write poems and plays if asked. The most recent chat bots, text-based dialogue systems like ChatGPT, already do certain things better and faster than human beings. Will one of humanity’s deepest fears now become reality as such programs threaten to make us redundant? Will they become even smarter than the smartest among us?

These are the questions which Debating Europe will tackle this time around, featuring the following experts and artists:

• Lisz Hirn  philosopher and writer;
• Peter Knees  Associate Professor of Informatics, TU Wien;
• Helga Nowotny  Professor em. of Social Studies of Science, former President of the European Research Council;
• Jörg Piringer  writer, artist, and computer scientist;
• Maya Pindeus  CEO & CO-Founder of Humanising Autonomy, London;

Moderated by: Petra Stuiber Der Standard
