What do we mean when we talk about “AI”?

The broad field of artificial intelligence (AI) develops systems that solve tasks through machine learning and data processing.

Prof. Joachim Denzler is a professor of computer science and an AI developer at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. The research magazine of the University of Jena „LICHTGEDANKEN“ features an interview with him in its 13th edition, discussing what AI is, how “intelligent” it is and what it can and cannot do (yet).

In the interview, basic concepts of weak and strong AI are defined. It is important to understand how these concepts differ and where tools like ChatGPT fit into this field.
