AI minutes – “AI at the turning point: progress, responsibility and new challenges”

AI minutes

In this episode of AI Minutes, Lily and Daniel highlight the most fascinating and controversial developments in artificial intelligence. We start with a look at OpenAI's latest model GPT-4o, which is free and open to everyone - a milestone that opens up many new possibilities, but also raises important questions about privacy and data security.

It continues with one of the first fully autonomous crypto trades conducted by AIs and the incredible story of AI-controlled civilizations in Minecraft. But not all developments are so positive: in the music industry, a producer has used AI to scam millions in royalties - a new form of abuse that shows how urgently rules for the use of AI are needed.

Sergey Brin, Google co-founder, returns to the office full of enthusiasm for the latest AI advances, while 200 employees at Google protest against the use of AI for military purposes. The creative sector is also under pressure: in Switzerland, the use of AI tools has led to many creatives losing their jobs.

And finally, Lily and Daniel show how AI is also being used in the fight against the spread of viruses - a project that uses AI-controlled drones to monitor and reduce mosquito populations in order to combat diseases such as Zika and dengue.

This episode is about innovation, responsibility and the exciting but also challenging ethical questions that the AI revolution brings with it.
