The use of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly popular in the media, with one recent example being the creation of interviews using AI in order to avoid speaking to tabloid press. This raises questions about whether this is a positive development for society, or simply an example of tastelessness.
Meanwhile, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is experiencing issues with overloaded download servers, causing a delay for high school graduates taking their exams. This has led to discussion about the need for further development in the education sector.
In other news, Swiss Post is set to require users of its Packstation service to have a smartphone in order to use it. This move has raised concerns about accessibility for those without access to smartphones.
The latest episode of the #heiseshow delves into these topics and more, with discussions led by moderator Anna Kalinowsky, heise online editor-in-chief Dr. Volker Zota, and editor and moderator Malte Kirchner. They take a closer look at the impact of AI on journalism, the need for education sector reform, and the changing landscape of delivery services.
As always, viewers are invited to participate in the discussion via social media using the hashtag #heiseshow. The program streams live on heise online every Thursday at 5 p.m., with the episode later available on YouTube and as a podcast. The moderators welcome viewer questions in advance via email or the heise forum, and live questions can be asked during the broadcast in the YouTube chat and on Twitch.
