Gloria-Sophie Burkandt discusses AI future on WDR talk show
During an appearance on the WDR talk show ‘Kölner Treff’, Gloria-Sophie Burkandt discussed the future of artificial intelligence and her new book, ‘Generation KI’. Burkandt expressed optimism about a future dominated by AI, suggesting the technology could handle repetitive or disliked tasks like creating presentations and spreadsheets, allowing humans to focus on more enjoyable activities.
Burkandt further theorized that high taxation on AI companies could provide the necessary funds for a universal basic income, potentially creating a world without hunger or suffering. This perspective was met with immediate disapproval from actor Heiner Lauterbach, who interrupted to express his dismay, arguing that humans must engage in meaningful work.
