The Spotlight Stage SPL08
Thinking, Reasoning, Understanding… Where Does AI Leave Us?
Date Friday, Dec 2 Time – RoomPotsdam III
Do you still think that creativity, presumed to be a connection of emotions, intuitions and intelligence, is a typical human characteristic? Or do you believe that being a good tutor builds on empathy, imagination, and one’s own experiences as a learner? Then it may be time to start questioning what actually makes up creativity, and whether tutors must ever have been students (or even human) at all.
Join Tarek R. Besold, research fellow at the University of Bremen’s Digital Media Lab, as he explores differences between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, cognitive computing, and the use and potential of creative artificial intelligence for our world.
