This article, part of the "Aus Politik und Zeitgeschichte" series, explores the capabilities and limitations of Artificial Intelligence, particularly focusing on whether AI threatens to replace humans. It delves into the underlying technologies like machine learning and neural networks, contrasting them with older rule-based systems. The author emphasizes that current AI systems learn from data provided by humans and lack true understanding or consciousness, making them 'black boxes' whose decision-making processes are not fully transparent. The article concludes that while AI can support human decisions, it cannot fully replace them, especially in complex, singular, or value-laden situations like political decision-making.
