Of greater importance with a view to the future, however, are questions that deal with the social impact of AI: especially questions about the expected changes in the workplace and how to deal with these changes in an appropriate and social manner. There are also - as already mentioned above - a whole range of moral aspects that need to be considered much more closely.
There are already initial approaches, such as the recent promise by AI developers not to use their knowledge to the detriment of humanity. However, there are currently no real control bodies beyond such voluntary bc data commitments. In my view, there is an urgent need for action here. This also includes making knowledge of the new technologies available to everyone. At the moment, only a relatively small group of people have access to these technologies, and their lead is growing ever larger. The general public hardly engages with the topic and is not aware of the effects. This needs to change urgently!
