In this episode of Made in Science, host Wolfgang Holtkamp sits down with Professor Marco Aiello - Head of the Service Computing Department at the Institute for Architecture of Application Systems (IAAS) at the University of Stuttgart - to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming not just computer science, but every facet of research and daily life.
Together, they dive into the metaphor of AI as a tsunami, trace the rapid rise of large language models, and examine the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration and an ever-expanding volume of scientific publications. The conversation also tackles the energy demands of modern data centers, the evolving role of software in the automotive industry, and the urgent need for green IT — before turning to curiosity-driven research, the risks and promise of humanoid robotics, and why understanding technological history matters now more than ever.
An honest, wide-ranging conversation about the unstoppable wave of AI shaping our world.
