Künstliche Intelligenz: Deutschlands jüngste KI-Professorin räumt mit den größten Mythen auf
Mit gerade mal 30 Jahren hat Alicia von Schenk den Lehrstuhl für „Economics of AI“ an der Uni Würzburg gegründet. Sie rät hinter den aktuellen Hype um die Technologie zu schauen.
In Germany, Alicia von Schenk, a recent AI professor, is debunking the biggest myths surrounding artificial intelligence. Born with an early talent, she began her education at four years old and earned a perfect 1.0 grade at age 15. She then pursued studies in mathematics and economics at the universities of Frankfurt and Heidelberg, graduating summa cum laude with a focus on the effects of AI, achieving the highest possible score.
Remarkably, at just 30 years old, she became a professor on a lifetime contract, compared to the average first-employment age in Germany of nearly 44 years. Currently, von Schenk holds the chair for "Economics of AI and Human Behavior" at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität in Würzburg, one of the few programs in Germany with a specific focus on the economic and behavioral impacts of AI.
Von Schenk, regarded as a national prodigy, seeks to clarify misunderstandings about AI. She emphasizes that there is not just one AI, but rather a collection of various technologies. These range from simple statistical tools to sophisticated neural networks and large generative language models like ChatGPT. Von Schenk deems this broad classification of AI as overly simplistic.
