Time and again, AI hits the headlines for making mistakes. In
some cases, they are very minor, and the consequences are not
usually serious. But when fatal accidents are caused by
AI-controlled, autonomous vehicles, confidence in artificial
intelligence dwindles. Can we rely on AI?

In Episode 6 of “AI and Us”, we explore the tests and
examinations artificial intelligence has to undergo before being
used in the health service, for example, or in a self-driving
car. As a general principle, AI must always first prove what it
can do explain Christian Becker-Asano, Milica Gašić and Daniel
Rückert, citing examples from their research.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation

Every year, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation enables more
than 2,000 researchers from all over the world to spend time
conducting research in Germany. The Foundation maintains a
network of well over 30,000 Humboldtians from all disciplines in
more than 140 countries worldwide – including 57 Nobel Laureates.

As part of the German government’s Artificial Intelligence
Strategy, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation can appoint a
total of 30 Alexander von Humboldt Professors for Artificial
Intelligence in the years up to 2024. These chairs are
contributing to work being done to comprehensively investigate
the opportunities AI offers for our future and to make use of
them. They will also help strengthen Germany’s standing as an
internationally attractive and influential location in this
important field.
