Hardly any technology is developing as rapidly as artificial intelligence (AI). Millions of users of ChatGPT & Co. are amazed what algorithms can already do today. The potential of AI seems enormous. It will change the way we live, work and interact with each other. It is becoming increasingly clear that we will have to learn how to deal with artificial intelligence wisely and agree on rules.
