Dr. Thilo Hagendorff, leader of the IRIS3D independent research group AI Safety, is the guest speaker on episode #45 of the podcast series “Made in Science” by the University of Stuttgart.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Hagendorff invites us into the heart of one of today’s most pressing technological-societal questions: how do we design, regulate, and live with generative artificial intelligence? The episode offers a deep insight into the ethical terrain of generative models and an accessible discussion of their societal ripple effects: from the notion of machine “autonomy”, to biases and transparency, to the challenge of aligning systems with human values.
Whether you’re a researcher, student, or simply curious about the future of AI, this episode is a compelling listen. It reminds us that generative AI is not just a technical achievement — it’s a site of ethical, cultural, and political reflection.
