Manfred Spitzer

  • Artificial intelligence - superior to humans?
  • How AI saves and threatens us
  • Geist Heidelberg, Lecture

The year 2023 marks the beginning of a new era in human history: for the first time, artificial intelligence will be available to everyone, e.g. through ChatGPT. AI is changing the world faster and more far-reaching than expected and is already permeating our lives and society – without any regulation or impact assessment. Neuroscientist and bestselling author Manfred Spitzer analyzes the use of AI in areas such as medicine, the military, politics and everyday life and warns: AIs not only produce ‘stupidity’ – in the wrong hands, they can plunge humanity into the abyss.

Prof. Dr. Manfred Spitzer is Director of the Psychiatric University Hospital in Ulm and one of Germany’s best-known brain researchers. With publications such as Digital Dementia (2014), Cyber Sick (2015), Loneliness (2018) and The Smartphone Epidemic (2018), he is stimulating social debate.
