Künstliche Intelligenz und NewSpace «für Dummies»

Everyone agrees that artificial intelligence will change our world in a lasting and profound way. The problem with AI is that normal people don't understand it. It's like electricity: those who don't understand it are afraid of it, but it makes life easier for everyone else.

This presentation aims to make AI understandable for everyone. Namely, how it works, what it can do and, above all, what it cannot do. AI also plays a major role in the current upheaval in space travel, the so-called NewSpace. What is Elon Musk doing differently and apparently better than others?
