Last but not least, the delicate balance between science, technology, & society. Science and technology serve society; politics must regulate for the common good. But how do we measure the common good? Vetterli advocates for scientific knowledge as humanity’s common good. #Ethics #Innovation

🧠 Martin Vetterli is optimistic about AI’s scientific impact but less so for its mass-market applications. The big question: When can we trust AI-generated images? Science relies on verifiability. AI excels at generating hypotheses, let’s verify them to advance knowledge.

🔍 Current #AIchallenges, according to Martin Vetterli:
- #Alignment
- #DigitalTrust
- The computing power arms race (Cold War arms race vibes)
- Algorithms training on their own outputs
- #Copyright issues
- Most important: #education. The brain is a muscle, it needs training! 💪🧠

🤖 Now, the unavoidable topic: #AI. But where do we stand?
Fun fact: AI-generated images of Lavaux (on the left) w/o Lake Geneva prove humans still have an edge. 😉
He traces AI’s #evolution, highlighting #APERTUS, the open, compliant model developed by #EPFL, @ethz.ch, #CSCS and the help of Swisscom.

Every technical revolution leads to social upheaval: fake news, flawed science. 🚩🤥We're drowning in data, how do we navigate it?
