Better to be artificially intelligent than naturally stupid

When it comes to "life and limb", Germans remain skeptical as regards artificial intelligence. But a recent study shows that many people think it is capable of making fairer decisions than their fellow humans. Applications using artificial intelligence (AI) are developing at a breathtaking pace. However, opinions among the population remain constant, at least in some areas. In the electronica Trend Index survey in October 2016, about two thirds of Germans believed AI in electronic devices was a good idea.
