Here are the video link and the podcast link to an interesting conversation between our vice president Johann Schumann, chief scientist at NASA and Wolfgang Ertel, head of the AI institute at Ravensburg-Weingarten (retired) and board member of the CCF. Johann und Wolfgang discuss the roots of AI in symbolic logic, the role of heuristics by neural networks, the issue of imprecise vs. logical reasoning for AI in engineering, especially in security-relevant applications and AI impact on society at large.
In spite of serious concerns regarding rebound effects and energy use caused by AI and social cohesion with AI and media use, they see a positive and growing impact of modern AI in many areas of everyday work, reducing our working hours significantly in the future.
