Künstliche Intelligenz: Chance oder Gefahr?
Von Ernst O. Wilhelm.
Auf der Basis einer im November veröffentlichten Umfrage, in der knapp über 1.000 Bundesbürger telefonisch befragt wurden, kommt die Bitkom zu dem Schluss, dass die Bundesbürger in allen Lebensbereichen grundsätzlich große Chancen beim Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) sehen wie z.B. in der Verkehrssteuerung, bei der Übertragung körperlich belastende Tätigkeiten, bei der Beschleunigung von Verwaltungstätigkeiten, bei der Steigerung der Innovationkraft in der Forschung, in der Bearbeitung von Service-Anfragen, bei der Aufklärung von Verbrechen und bei der Erstellung von Diagnosen in der Medizin.
In der gleichen Umfrage wird aber auch sichtbar, dass viele der befragten Bürger neben den Chancen auch große Risiken im verstärkten Einsatz von KI-Lösungen sehen wie z.B. dass KI Machtmissbrauch und Manipulation Tür und Tor öffnet, die Vorurteile der Programmierer abbildet, faktenbasierte Entscheidungen vorgaukelt oder KI den Menschen entmündigt oder sich irgendwann gar gegen den Menschen richtet.
