What Is Intelligence—and What Kind of Intelligence Do We Want in Our Future? With Sven Nyholm

Research Film

Sven Nyholm, Chair of the Ethics of AI at LMU Munich and PI at MCML, explores one of the most urgent questions in AI: how responsibility, agency, and credit shift when intelligent systems make decisions for us.

In this video, Nyholm reflects on how technologies like generative AI challenge traditional notions of authorship, accountability, and creativity. Who should be blamed—or praised—when AI writes a text, diagnoses a disease, or creates art? Can a machine ever truly be responsible? And if not, how do we govern those who build and deploy it?

Nyholm argues for collective reflection, democratic oversight, and an open, intentional approach to shaping our AI future, instead of one dictated by inevitability or industry alone.
