EMBRACING CREATIVITY
IN THE AGE OF AI
“Knowing runs deeper than having information.
We should orient our research in AI in a direction that promotes the creative freedom of human beings.”
Why are AI systems so successful and widespread? How can we harness their potential to enhance human creativity and freedom? Is AI going to be our future saviour, or will it ultimately cause our extinction? Dr. Marco Schorlemmer explores these questions in our latest Science & Wisdom LIVE podcast episode:
