Knowledge communities: Digital infrastructure for your thirst for knowledge.

So much freely available, understandable knowledge on absolutely every topic. You just have to find it. And that's the catch, because while hundreds of thousands of people voluntarily sort knowledge on Wikipedia, we don't have anything like this for videos and podcasts - not yet, as Tim Wittenberg will show you.

Parrots at the wheel - ChatGPT and the future of artificial intelligence.

Novel AI methods such as large language models (LLMs for short) or convincing image and sound generators are the talk of the town these days, with "ChatGPT" leading the way. Which areas of application are realistic and which are more harmful? And what does all this have to do with parrots? Jonas Betzendahl explains.
