A Keynote by Christoph Holz Sets the Tone for Your Event
The myth of artificial intelligence
Where it comes from, where it leads, what it can do — and what it will never be able to do.
Artificial intelligence is older than the hype suggests: Mary Shelley wrote it in Frankenstein in 1816, Ada Lovelace dissected it a hundred years before Alan Turing. Today no computer scientist can explain how GPT works — and yet AI claims once again to know what's true. Christoph Holz traces the arc from the steam engine to the quantum computer, from expert systems to hallucination, from European invention to American market conquest. A reality check on what the machine can do — and what it will never be able to do.
