Dirk Schlesinger has a doctorate in mathematics, aerospace engineer, worked for Cisco and BCG and is now Chief Digital Officer of TÜV Süd AG. He is also concerned with how the company will be able to certify artificial intelligence in the future in addition to its already established test fields. Behind this is the desire of the EU Commission and many European governments to make this key technology more transparent, to regulate it and, for example, to classify it into different risk categories. But what could such a TÜV seal for AI look like? What is the difference between software and auto?

The Shanghai People's Court in the PRC said it had developed an artificially intelligent prosecutor who accuses a person with 97 percent accuracy based on an oral description of a court case. The digital prosecutor is supposed to help reduce the burden on living prosecutors, and in some cases even replace charges at trial. Among the cases that can be considered by the "digital prosecutor": At the same time, for the use of digital the prosecutor does not require separate capacities, even an ordinary desktop computer is enough. Skeptics believe that the artificial intelligence of the prosecutor can be rare cases more harmful than useful, since he can be wrong in difficult cases. In addition, given the rapidly changing social environment, the information embedded in it is likely to quickly become outdated.
