Digdeep Podcast: DeepSeek, OpenAI & Co – What’s Next for AI, Prof. Kristian Kersting?

In the February episode of #digdeep, the podcast highlights DeepSeek, OpenAI & Co.

When the supposed startup DeepSeek from China presented a competitive model at supposedly the lowest cost, the plate tectonics of AI conditions seemed to be breaking down: Who is leading the market, how far ahead do the already established players have, and do we really need as much energy and resources as we thought?

The violent reactions in the press (and on the stock market) perhaps show above all how important the major foundational models have become for our economy and society - and that the massive investments are mainly intended to keep others off the field.

So it's high time for a studio guest who really knows his stuff about AI! Prof. Kristian Kersting heads the Machine Learning/AI Lab at TU Darmstadt, was voted one of the top 100 most influential AI researchers, and the list of his awards and memberships in the AI ​​community would go beyond the scope of the podcast. The best conditions to ask: What is actually happening in AI right now: revolution or little revolution? And when will the singularity finally arrive, when the machines will overtake humanity?

You can find out whether there is already an answer to this in our very entertaining conversation with human intelligence!

Just listen in (podcast in German).
