Description

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and so is the hype surrounding it. Tremendous progress has been made in recent years, but with it come new risks, unanswered questions, and a fair amount of overexcitement. Prof. Dr. Damian Borth, an expert in AI and large language models, has been researching this field for many years and has met leading figures such as the CEO of NVIDIA. With his deep technical knowledge and global perspective, he offers a grounded view of where the technology really stands.In this episode, Damian Borth explains how neural networks and deep learning systems work, why the recent boom in generative AI feels both revolutionary and precarious, and how international regulations might shape the field’s future. He reflects on the fine line between enthusiasm and hype, drawing parallels to past “AI winters,” and argues for a more informed and realistic public understanding of artificial intelligence.Beyond the technical side, the conversation also touches on profound questions: Could AI one day develop consciousness? What makes an AI system trustworthy? And how can researchers, policymakers, and society ensure that these technologies truly serve humanity?With thoughtful insights and an honest look behind the buzzwords, Damian Borth provides a fascinating perspective on the promises and pitfalls of one of the most transformative technologies of our time.You can find Damian Borth on Linkedin.
