graue, a voice artist whose voice was replaced by a computer. plus jessica apotheker at the boston consulting group has been taking the temperature of the global workforce, interviewing thousands of workers and bosses about how artificial intelligence is changing work right now. also on the show, our big boss has been working with al for years. he runs bosch. yeah, the european tech and engineering company, which says within the next two years, all of its products will either contain al or have been developed using it. wherever you rejoining me from around the world, once again, a big hello and a warm welcome to the show. you know, for decades, science fiction has been imagining what will happen when the computers take over. it s been the stuff of horror since stanley kubrick s film 2001, a space odyssey showed us the fear of an astronaut whose spaceship had a mind of its own. today, we re long past
there is real outcomes. so i would hope that we focus on the use cases and applications that enhance the way that we work rather than replacing the way that we work, and that way we will have a great outcome. well, on that point, jessica apotheker a real pleasure having you on the show. i ll check in with you in a year. well, my robot will check in with you in a year s time. thanks for your time and we ll talk to you soon. looking forward to that. ok, so earlier, we spoke to people who lost their work to artificial intelligence, but how do people driving the technology see the future? well, the german engineering and tech giant bosch has been running a centre for al as part of its research business for the past six years and the company says that by 2025, all of its products will either contain al or will have been developed using it. so i sat down with its big boss. dr stefan hartung, a real pleasure having you on. and let me start with this. because on this week s show,
we have been asking whether artificial intelligence can transform the workplace. let s start with this. it s a big part of your business, how do you work with ai at bosch? we work with it quite intensely. we have founded a centre for artificial intelligence years ago with hundreds of specialists to work on the subject and now there is a new wave coming which is quite amazing, because you saw these foundational models and specifically there, we are amazed by the generative ai tools like gpt. and here, we will see a complete new application coming towards us because these tools now work with language, and language is something we use all of the time, especially people like us here right now on the show. and we will see language used by machines in a completely different way than machines have used it so far. stefan, i have to ask, what kind of impact has ai had on your workforce so far?
