Evolving AI: Blessing or Curse?

In Spring 2016, an artificial intelligence developed by Google (Artifical Intelligence = AI) was better than a South Korean world champion in a particularly complicated strategic board game. In a detailed interview, Demis Hassabis, developer of the Google DeepMind AlphaGo program, explains to what extent human intuition and creativity are involved in the creation of artificial intelligence. The program shows various AI areas, such as the use in medicine or even research attempts to connect human feelings and artificial intelligence – and what that can mean for the future.
