Kann Künstliche Intelligenz die Zukunft vorhersagen? | OUTATIME #36

Predicting the future sounds like science fiction. But researchers have been working on precisely that for a long time, not with crystal balls, but with scientific methods. This episode of OUTATIME is about the science of the future. Together with Prof. Dr. Katharina Hölzle, Director of the Fraunhofer IAO and an expert in futures research and technology planning, Tommy Falkowski, who prefers not to make any bold predictions about the future, and Prof. Dr. Roman Dumitrescu, the institute's "Magic 8 Ball," discuss how companies, politics, and society can systematically prepare for tomorrow. Why have some future predictions been spectacularly wrong, while other developments have been recognized decades in advance? What role do methods such as scenario planning, roadmaps, or Delphi studies play? And can AI help us better understand the future, or is it just another tool itself? How do you view the future? Do you believe that AI will one day be able to reliably predict what will happen tomorrow? Or does true strength lie in understanding different future scenarios and actively shaping the future?
