The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of everyday life and has the potential to fundamentally change many aspects of society. Especially in the recent past, AI has developed rapidly and has achieved impressive successes. One example is its superhuman competence in games or many quiz shows. Google and other search engines as we know them today would be unthinkable without the use of AI. Furthermore, it enables personalized advertising, can recognize, output, and translate language at a very high level, performs impressively in image recognition, and much more.
