Couch Lessons: AI + Intelligenz

Generation A = Algorithmus

6:00 PM - 19:00 Online

In the second Couch Lessons, we will explore what AI is today and what the future holds. With the help of one machine learning researcher we will learn how artificial intelligence is already part of our daily lives (whether we know it or not!), what the technology consists of, how it’s already used, and what work is under way for further applications in companies and society at large. In addition, a philosopher will guide us through how to think about intelligence in general and how artificial and human intelligence relate to each other.

What you will learn

• What is intelligence?
• What does AI consist of and how does it learn?
• What can it do today and what do we expect its future capabilities to be?
