In an interview (in German/dubbed) for ARD’s Weltspiegel (23.03.2025), Prof. Aimee van Wynsberghe highlights how AI systems, while transformative, consume vast amounts of energy and resources like water. This raises vital questions about sustainability, ethics, and environmental impact. It’s crucial to address these issues in research and public debates.
In this "IWE in 2 min", Prof. Bert Heinrichs presents his recent paper in which he introduces different approaches to autonomy to improve interdisciplinary understanding.
