Artificial intelligence could enable major advances in medicine, weather forecasting or even climate protection. Economics Minister Habeck sees many opportunities – but also risks.
Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) primarily sees opportunities in the progress in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). The technology can make many things easier and more efficient, “from climate protection to weather data and early warning systems, from disease detection to therapy systems,” said Habeck on Thursday before the AI security summit in Milton Keynes, England. Of course, misuse is also possible. That’s why the European Union wants to regulate its use through a regulation. However, Habeck emphasized that it was not about restricting the technology itself.
The summit, which will be attended by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, US Vice President Kamala Harris and EU Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen, is also about creating a level playing field internationally.
