Developments
in artificial intelligence (AI) are leading to fundamental changes in the way
we live. Algorithms can already detect Parkinson's disease and cancer, and
control both cars and aircraft. How will AI change our society in the future?
This
documentary journeys to the hot spots of AI research in Europe, the USA and
China, and looks at the revolutionary developments which are currently taking
place. The rapid growth of AI offers many opportunities, but also many dangers.
AI can be used to create sound and video recordings which will make it more and
more difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction. It will make the world
of work more efficient and many professions superfluous. Algorithms can decide
whether to grant loans, who is an insurance risk, and how good employees are.
But there is a huge problem: humans can no longer comprehend how algorithms
arrive at their decisions. And another big problem is AI’s capacity for
widespread surveillance. The Chinese city of Rongcheng is already using an
AI-supported 'social credit system' to monitor and assess its citizens. Does AI
pose a danger to our personal freedoms or democracy? Which decisions can we
leave to the algorithms - and which do we want to? And what are AI’s social
implications?
