Humane artificial intelligence – is that a contradiction in terms? No, it’s a necessity, believes philosopher Markus Gabriel. He sees an opportunity in the rapidly accelerating digital revolution. In any case, we cannot go back, as artificial intelligence has long since permeated all areas of our lives. And this makes it even more urgent that we shape AI in a sustainable manner, so we can compete against North American and Chinese corporations, Gabriel argues. We must use our data to clarify and communicate our societal values, with the help of AI agents that understand those values and support us not only in a technical sense, but also a moral one. In this way, AI systems can improve our Ethische Intelligenz [“Ethical Intelligence”] and contribute to both moral progress and long-term economic growth. Host: Alexander Görlach
