#114 The AI Series (3) - Practical vs. philosophical

The one thing that has the potential to fundamentally change the area of EU R&D funding for good is the development of Artificial Intelligence. ChatGPT broke through a year and a half ago and the development of this technology and available services – free as well as paid – are going at the speed of light. In The Grant editor’s office I am of course following this closely. So, I have decided to make an AI series where I dig into this in more detail. And of course I do this with some of the sharpest professionals on the topic: independent consultant and AI-Chat-guru Kristjan Zemljic and Senior Consultant and very pro-active AI-Chat-user Rita Gil Mata. In this third episode I discuss and reflect with my two distinguished guests on the more philosophical and ethical aspects versus the practical use of the new tools. An important part of this whole process that we are all going through with these tools developing at such a quick pace. A wonderful conversation.
