Digdeep Podcast: Can You Explain AI to Us Over Coffee, Letitia Parcalabescu?

News From the Digital World by MCML PI Frauke Kreuter and Christof Horn

In this episode of #digdeep Letitia Parcalabescu talks about how to explain AI terms in a coffee break.

AI systems' responses depend not only on developers but also on so-called system prompts, which determine how a model reacts. AI researcher Letitia Parcalabescu tries to make such technical details understandable because public understanding of AI often lags behind its widespread use.

She is particularly well-known for her YouTube channel "AI Coffee Break," where an animated coffee bean explains current AI research in short, easy-to-understand videos. In addition to her role as a science communicator, she works as a researcher at Aleph Alpha Research, focusing on interpretable reasoning models.

Her goal is to make complex AI topics more accessible and to show that science can also be communicated in a more engaging way.

Just listen in (podcast in German).
