And what do we actually know about human intelligence? How intelligent can artificial intelligence be in comparison? More importantly, what impact will advances in this field have on our society? Artificial intelligence offers plenty of room for speculation about the future. What is certain is that this technology has already profoundly changed our everyday lives and will continue to do so. Algorithms have long supported us in a wide variety of areas such as autonomous driving, security technology, marketing or social media. Artificial intelligence is even being used to create works of art. But how many of our tasks do we want to outsource to machines? No other development is currently asking us so clearly how we want to use our technical means in a social context.
