DÜSSELDORF (dpa-AFX) – “Handelsblatt” on artificial intelligence/stock market panic:
Google plans to invest up to $185 billion this year. Amazon exceeds that with a forecast of up to $200 billion. A large part of this goes into the infrastructure for artificial intelligence. The company’s shares then plummet. (.) Anyone who only sees a bubble has not understood the upheaval. The markets calculate costs – technology shifts possibilities. Both are correct. But anyone who reads this moment solely as an investment bubble is missing the point: AI is not only getting better, it is becoming independent. The real change is not taking place in the balance sheets, but in the relationship between humans and machines. If you don’t understand it, you won’t be able to design it – and at some point you’ll have to ask yourself why people are needed for the most mundane remaining tasks./yyzz/DP/mis
