"This film is particularly close to my heart," says actress Lisa Bitter (b. 1984, "Tatort", "Der Beileeper") in an interview with the news agency spot on news about the documentary fiction "KI - The Last Invention" (December 15, 11:15 p.m., ZDF). "The film sheds light on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it will change our everyday lives. The focus is on the enormous potential of the interaction between humans and machines," she explains.
A chip in the brain
The fictional story is based on current research results on the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence. It tells the story of lawyer Tom Müller (Daniel Donskoy,31), who loses his job in the law firm to an artificial intelligence that works more efficiently, faster and cheaper than him. Now he wants to know who is responsible - and during his research he has a surprise: he owes his unemployment to an old fellow student
His college friend Vida has specialized in AI development and in the process also developed the machine that cost Tom his job. But how did the inconspicuous law student transform into a tough AI developer? Tom is fascinated by Vida - and he learns her secret: she has optimized herself with a chip in her brain. Lisa Bitter, who plays Vida, also explains: "Vida is an expert in the field and programs an AI that she will later use for her purposes in the film."
In addition to Bitter and Donskoy, Thomas Heinze (57) can be seen as Vida's boss, Prof. Mark Reinhardt, and Halima Ilter (born in 1983) as Tom's wife, Mari Müller.
The documentary level
This plot is intertwined with a documentary level in which the world's leading researchers comment on and classify what is happening. "International scientists are now examining the importance of AI - from simple search engine algorithms to implanted chips in medical technology," explains Bitter. And she adds: "It's amazing and a little scary the level of usability of AI today... and it won't stop there, there is a global competition for the most advanced AI research."
Lisa Bitter's heart project also doesn't neglect morals, as she confirms. "Yes, the question of morality and ethical principles is being asked. If humanity does not succeed in establishing values with which we want to live together peacefully and sustainably, it will also not be able to give a machine instructions for action that, without exception, have a positive effect ", she sums up the special challenge and responsibility.SpotOnNews
