  "account": "Alicia von Schenk has always been ahead of her time. At four years old, she began her education, at 15 she earned a 1.0 high school diploma. She went on to study Mathematics and Economics in Frankfurt and Heidelberg, graduating with a summa cum laude in Economics, the highest distinction, and becoming a Professor by the age of 30, when the average age for first employment in Germany is nearly 44. Currently, she leads the Chair of \"Economics of AI and Human Behavior\" at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität in Würzburg, one of the few programs in Germany that explicitly focuses on the economic and behavioral effects of AI. Von Schenk, one of the country's youngest professors, is often described as a prodigy. But how did she achieve such early success? And what does she think about the current AI boom?\n\nVon Schenk firmly dispels the notion that there is only one AI. \"Despite the enormous hype,\" she says, \"there is no single AI.\" She explains that AI is a collective term for a multitude of different technologies, ranging from simple statistical tools to large generative language models like ChatGPT and complex neural networks of machine learning. \"I call all of this AI,\" she says. \"But, in my view, this is too undifferentiated.\"",
