Cover - Schneider Das Pferd, das zu viel wusste
Why has a calculating horse from Berlin suddenly reappeared in AI research more than a hundred years after its death?
The multi-award-winning science journalist and bestselling author Reto U. Schneider explores this fascinating question in his new book.
In conversation with science journalist Lilo Berg, he traces a path from the famous ‘Clever Hans’, who astonished the world at the start of the 20th century with his supposed thinking abilities, right through to ChatGPT and the challenges of modern artificial intelligence.
In doing so, it becomes clear that the questions surrounding the intelligence of humans, animals and machines are more closely intertwined than they might seem at first glance.
Look forward to an evening that is as entertaining as it is enlightening, full of surprising anecdotes, exciting scientific history and fascinating insights into the origins and limitations of artificial intelligence.
The talk will be accompanied by historical images, chansons about thinking animals and extraordinary audio recordings.
