“We have done studies that show that people, when they have AI at their fingertips, are less creative. They come up with fewer different solutions to problems than when they don’t have AI available.”
“Computers and human beings speak entirely different languages. Generative AI is changing this profoundly. In a way, English, German, Bavarian dialects have become the programming language of the day.”
“We have laid out a common European vision for the future of this technology – one where AI is more democratic, one where AI systems are safe.”
“Best practice thinking, that mindset is about locking the future into the past. It’s about learning from the past and continuing to perpetuate that.”
“The bigger the change that’s possible, the less we’ll understand it. And the less we’re even able to conceive of what would happen.”
