Künstliche Intelligenz verändert viel mehr als nur die Produktion

Abstract

The development of AI requires cooperation and large volumes of data. Applications of “narrow AI”, many of which are already functioning, can be understood and managed. “General AI”, which humans can only understand abstractly, is in development every-where, with China full steam ahead in the fast lane. Rules must be developed and measures taken to ensure control over AI. The EU can use its traditional strengths (e. g. its emphatically democratic opinion formation) to make a pioneering contribution on the subject of AI governance. A goal-oriented, multistage approach is required for the usage of AI in production. After developing scenarios based on data transparency and intelligent, real-time-capable processing to simulate and calculate parameters such as batches, batch sizes, or pro-duction orders, the full potential of AI can be utilized in the final step. Given ethical considerations, its use in an industrial setting is far less critical than in political, social, or military contexts – unless the pressure of global competition results in an overly careless adaptation of laws to the real technical possibilities.
