Welcome to this week's episode of the podcast, where we dive into an exciting guest conversation that has everyone talking: AI. Our guest, Dr. jur. Can Ansay, hails from Hamburg, Germany, and has a fascinating background. Growing up with a law professor and doctor as parents, he developed an early passion for software and coding. As the 1990s unfolded, he found himself working as a web designer alongside his law studies until the dotcom bubble burst. In 2012, a life-changing event led him to leave his legal career behind. Unable to find a diagnosis for his symptoms, he stumbled upon an online symptom checker powered by artificial intelligence, which provided an immediate and accurate diagnosis for free. Inspired by this experience, Dr. jur. Can Ansay collaborated with programmers to create his own explainable AI-driven symptom checker. Get ready for an intriguing exploration into the world of AI as we delve into this captivating conversation. Key Takeaways• As the AI revolution unfolds, startups have the power to reshape industries, challenge monopolies, and put the control back into the hands of users.• AI developments have profound implications for social interactions.• While AI often yields correct and helpful results, the lack of explainability can be a concern, especially in critical fields like healthcare.• While AI brings enormous potential, a few concerns persist. The rise of deep fakes and the spread of fake news are areas where AI can be misused, leading to wrong political opinions and legal complexities Connect with Dr. Jur.
