Prof. Dr. Birger P. Priddat, Emeritus Chair of Economics and Philosophy at the Faculty of Business and Society, talks about how artificial intelligence is changing our economy and what opportunities and risks are associated with it.

AI (artificial intelligence) will - in several waves - change our economy, our society and our everyday lives. The lecture will use examples to illustrate this: the networked economy, municipal traffic flows, automated railroads, education (schools, universities), healthcare systems, the military, etc. Of course, AI brings problems with it, but so many more solutions that it will prevail with power. What does this mean for us? What does it mean for the world of work? What does it mean for our thinking, our speech and communication, our perception of the world?
