Today: Wirtschaft wächst, Probleme bleiben bestehen | Zweifel an der KI-Apokalypse
Die Exportindustrie ist der heimliche Nutznießer des Iran-Kriegs. Deutschlands Strukturprobleme löst das jedoch nicht. Und: Warum KI-Forscher bei der Doomsday-Debatte mit den Augen rollen.
This year, Germany's economy may experience surprising growth, with the Handelsblatt Research Institute raising its growth forecast to 1.1 percent. This represents an increase from the 0.5 percent projected in the previous quarter. While this news may seem to signal the end of the crisis, Dennis Huchzermeier, a Senior Economist at HRI, warns that this is not the full story.
In a recent podcast, he explains why despite growth, Germany's population will still face poverty. The debate about the potential doomsday of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ongoing. Dario Amodei, the founder of Anthropic, has called for a slower pace in developing language models, and prominent figures such as Sam Altman and Elon Musk agree with him.
Even OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, is delaying its stock market debut for safety reasons. Is this now the loud warning from AI developers, or is it primarily a ploy to promote the capabilities of their own models? Handelsblatt Techreporter Lina Knees spoke with AI researchers about this issue: "[They] look confused when asked about it," Knees explains in the podcast.
According to them, the true danger lies not in an uncontrollable superintelligence but in very specific problems in the present.
