This podcast episode discusses artificial intelligence, disinformation, and the risk for critical infrastructure. Prof. Christian Dörr, Chairman of the Potsdam Conference for National Cyber Security, assesses the situation.

How will teaching and research be conducted at HPI in the future? Will there still be professors at all in the future? And - what was it like back then when HPI was founded? These are the questions addressed in our anniversary edition of Neuland. Twenty-five years ago, the Hasso Plattner Institute officially started teaching at the beginning of the winter semester on October 1, 1999. What has happened in this quarter of a century? Where are we headed? In this new episode of our podcast, HPI Managing Director and AI expert Prof. Ralf Herbrich and Prof. Christoph Meinel, who shaped HPI as Director for almost two decades, talk about this together.

With kyub, teachers can link digital and analog learning and combine it with subject matter in areas such as technology, design, music or robotics.The software system allows students to go from idea to tangible prototype in a lesson. Could this perhaps even solve the problem of the shortage of skilled workers? kyub was developed at the Human Computer Interaction research group of Professor Patrick Baudisch at HPI. Leon Stebe interviews him in this episode of our podcast.

Innovations are coming at ever shorter intervals. Medicine will also benefit from this, in particular. This is the domain of Laurin Siefermann and Jonas Witt. Both are studying for a Master's degree in Digital Health at HPI. They are both co-founders of start-ups in the medical field - and are consciously utilizing AI in the process. They are both hosts of their podcast, "Ereignishorizont," - in which they also discuss what it does to people when the speed of technological progress continues to increase.

Artificial intelligence is becoming a powerful tool in our everyday lives. It is not only shaping our jobs, but also our creativity.
How do machine learning and the creative methods of design thinking fit together? How will humans and machines work together in the future? In this episode of Neuland, the academic director of the HPI d-school Dr. Claudia Nicolai and Samuel Tschepe, an expert in design thinking from the Professional Development department, discuss this topic.

Stefan Neuber is a freshman at HPI and has already achieved a lot. With "MatheX", he has developed a math learning app - for which he has already received several awards. Stefan has presented his idea at the famous SXSW festival in the USA, as well as on stage at the Bits & Pretzels conference in front of Michelle Obama. In this episode of Neuland, up-and-coming founder Stefan Neuber explains how he came up with the idea and what his next plans are.
