Can AI convincingly mimic human behavior? For sure. But despite the Silicon Valley transhumanist dreams of superintelligence, mind uploading and AGI-driven utopia, AI cannot replace human beings. Yet, rejecting the ideology does not mean dismissing the technology. AI and algorithms are becoming increasingly embedded in everyday interactions and shaping how we access and process information. Therefore, a solid understanding of these technologies is crucial for informed and responsible participation in society.
Computers and philosophical questions have fascinated me since my early childhood. I started coding at age 10 and built my first website at age 14. In 2014, I graduated in Catholic theology with a thesis on artificial intelligence and anthropology. Ever since then, I have been following the latest developments in the digital and AI field, currently as a consultant in the German higher education landscape. When I take a break from digitalisation, you can find me playing my piano or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
