Risiko, Versicherung, Haftung – wichtige Themen, die aktuell im Zusammenhang mit Künstlicher Intelligenz diskutiert werden. Außerdem: Wie teuer es für Unternehmen werden kann, wenn sie gegen die KI-Verordnung der EU verstoßen. Der monatliche Newsletter „prompt/“ aus dem iRights.Lab bringt relevante KI-Neuigkeiten auf den Punkt und ordnet sie ein. Ein Auszug.

Die Suche nach Antworten auf wissenschaftliche Fragestellungen gleicht oft der Suche nach der Nadel im Heuhaufen. KI-basierte Systeme können hier Abhilfe schaffen. Das Wissen, auf das sie dabei zurückgreifen, sollte frei verfügbar sein. Jedes Jahr erscheinen mehrere Millionen neue Forschungsbeiträge. In dieser Flut an Publikationen fällt es Forschenden zunehmend schwer, den Überblick zu behalten.

por Héctor Strobel El 6 de agosto de 1846, la guarnición de la ciudad de México derrocó al gobierno centralista de Mariano Paredes y Arrillaga para colocar a Santa Anna en el poder.
