Panel discussion 2025

On the opportunities, limitations, and future of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is increasingly permeating private, economic, and social spheres. It optimizes processes, supports decision-making, and opens up new possibilities – from medicine and industry to everyday life. At the same time, its use raises questions: 

  • What are the limits of the technology?  
  • What risks are real, and how can they be managed?  
  • How can AI be used sensibly – privately, professionally, and socially?  

This panel discussion will shed light on the current state of AI development, its specific fields of application, and its impact on the economy, research, and society.
