An interview with our Managing Director and owner Jörg-Tilman Heyl. (Part 2)
Question 4: Where is the greatest potential for the company?
A: We work a lot with software and have our own programmers. I am tech-affine myself, worked with computers during my studies and learnt the BASIC programming language. I am currently creating complex analyses and programming with SQL, supported by AI. Often several runs are necessary until a correct list is created. However, as a layman, I am able to create a complete and complex analysis of the components of our products within an hour.
Question 5: Does AI have the potential to replace entire workforces?
A: ‘I don’t believe that entire workforces will be replaced. AI will make every single employee better, faster.’
Question 6: What are the challenges and dangers?
A: The greatest danger lies in adopting the results generated by AI without reflection. Artificial intelligence wants to produce an output, but sometimes has no data on a topic and will then invent or ‘assemble’ something. If you accept this without reflection, it can produce incorrect results. That’s why you should always keep your own head switched on.
