Eine kurze Geschichte der Künstlichen Intelligenz

Is artificial intelligence becoming more human than humans? For a long time, fascination and fear of machines, robots, and artificial intelligence have accompanied us. Award-winning author Michael Wildenhain exemplarily unfolds their exciting history from the beginning and examines whether AI can ultimately develop its own consciousness. With the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the debate over the use of artificial intelligence has reached another peak. Michael Wildenhain explains the development and reception of artificial intelligence through key milestones. From writers like Mary Shelley to programming pioneers such as Herbert A. Simon, Allen Newell, and Alan Turing, as well as philosophers Gottlob Frege and John Rogers Searle, he describes the evolution of AI and engagingly discusses the extent to which AI systems, measured by human standards, can be considered intelligent and whether it is possible for them to develop their own consciousness with increasing complexity, which could ultimately surpass that of humans.
