Are we facing a digital golden age or is a robot apocalypse looming? Ethical standards for dealing with artificial intelligence are needed and sought after. And the answer to the question: What makes us humans unique – yet? Although humanity will still be decades away from machines that learn for themselves and are as intelligent as humans, there are already chatbots, robots, digital assistants and artificial intelligences that are often indistinguishable from humans. According to scientists and AI experts, we are in a race against time: ethical guidelines must be found before technology catches up with us. While artificial intelligence professor Jürgen Schmidhuber predicts an artificial intelligence with robot factories in space, Swedish-American physicist Max Tegmark warns of a totalitarian state of control of artificial intelligence; and philosopher Thomas Metzinger warns of a deadly arms race based on it. However, Europe, says Metzinger, can be a pioneer on the threshold of this new era if it develops a binding international code of ethics. ------ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
