The race for hegemony in the age of artificial intelligence has begun. Between China, the US and Europe; between technology consortiums and start-ups. Who will take the lead in a technology that is key to the future of humanity? The report follows key figures from the technology industry, science and politics who are working around the world on the development of artificial intelligence and who have to make decisions with far-reaching consequences in a very short space of time. How can we harness the potential of this technology and at the same time prevent it from leading to a dystopia? The possibilities offered by super-infrastructure promise to be as limitless as the existential risks it entails: from disinformation and electoral manipulation to new forms of war and social control. The feature focuses on three entrepreneurs whose startups are among the leading players in the field of generative artificial intelligence: Jonas Andrulis of Aleph Alpha (Germany), Thomas Wolf of the open-source platform Hugging Face (France) and Han Xiao of Jina.ai (China). Director Dominik Bretsch accompanies the three AI pioneers from the spring of 2023, when the technology first became a mass phenomenon, to the turmoil surrounding OpenAI. For all three, it is about capital, influence and economic survival in a fast-paced, relentlessly competitive world that is changing faster than any other. China has set itself the goal of achieving technological dominance worldwide – exactly what the US wants, too. And Europe has to find its own way between the two superpowers. Those left behind will not get a second chance. The report offers an insight into the normally secretive world of technology and shows the people who are working to bring about this technical revolution. #dwdocumentary #documentary #artificialintelligence ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
