How does artificial intelligence actually work?

In this episode of the ERGO Future Skills Podcast, Martin Schwemmle and Arndt Pechstein from The Future Company discuss one of the most exciting topics of our time: artificial intelligence and, more specifically, ChatGPT.

In the third episode of our Future Skills Podcast, Arndt Pechstein and Martin Schwemmle delve deep into the world of artificial intelligence, with a special focus on ChatGPT. They shed light on what artificial intelligence (AI) really is, how it works and where its limits lie.

A central theme is the responsibility we bear as users. The discussion about the ethical implications of AI use shows that we must carefully select not only the technology, but also the information we provide to it.

This episode provokes thought: How can we use AI responsibly to benefit from its strengths while also taking its limitations into account?
