What If... real AI existed today? (Podcast from 2019)
In this episode of What If... from 2019, Christoph von der Malsburg, delves into a future where artificial intelligence is not just a tool but a conscious entity. Here are a few thought-provoking questions the discussion raises:
Could AI develop its own consciousness? Explore the possibility of machines not only processing information but also experiencing awareness.
What happens when AI surpasses human intelligence? Consider the implications of machines that can think, learn, and evolve beyond human capabilities.
How would society adapt to truly autonomous AI? Reflect on the societal, ethical, and philosophical shifts that might occur when interacting with self-aware machines.
