The Age of Artifi­cial Intel­li­gence — How Bernhard Schölkopf Is Shaping the Future of AI

Artifi­cial Intel­li­gence (AI) is rapidly trans­form­ing our society. Bernhard Schölkopf, direc­tor at the Max Planck Insti­tute for Intel­li­gent Systems, is one of the leading researchers in the field. In this video portrait, he discusses the oppor­tu­ni­ties and risks of AI, as well as its appli­ca­tions in science, partic­u­larly in astron­omy, where KI can open new perspec­tives on the study of exoplan­ets and gravi­ta­tional waves. But AI also raises societal questions: How does it influ­ence politics and public opinion? Schölkopf advocates for a respon­si­ble approach to AI and the impor­tance of strong European research.
