CONTENT BACKGROUND OF THE PODCAST SEMINAR
"What is called thinking?" The question Martin Heidegger asked in his lecture of 1951/52 reads like a counter-question to the one Alan Turing had asked a year earlier in his essay Computing Machinery and Intelligence: "Can a machine think?“ Both ways of asking the same question are more relevant today than ever before. The attempt to define ‘thinking’ by the Turing Test has sort of „programmed“ computer development in such a way that software seems to be able to perform more and more human thinking without having developed a consciousness or what Heidegger called a Da-Sein (being there). But is AI therefore really thinking? Or vice versa: Is the human consciousness still needed under these conditions? And what for?

The course was dedicated to the comparison and interplay of artificial and human intelligence, addressing the latest theories and newest software solutions. It was designed as a podcast seminar to which proven experts in the field were invited.
