a computer science professor at the technical university of dresden. and he also signed that appeal markers. welcome to the show. why did you choose to sign this letter? yes. hello. and for many reasons, i think actually it's, it's not at all about stopping i, i means us obviously no stopping of it right now. but it is a technology that has a tremendous potential of both to do good and also to do harm. and especially the 2nd part of this is really not understood very well at the moment. we are overwhelmed by the abilities of this technology. and it seems that at birth, both research and also politics and society as a whole is lagging behind this foss development. so the letter is all about and giving it pulls to this very fast current developments that we are witnessing and, and doing things that we have already successfully done for other technologies, like a genetic engineering or atomic analogy where we needed some, some,
5:19 am
an ability to look into the effects and to think about how we are going to use this as a society to be useful, right? what our critics say that the letter might be alarm us and then admit it misses a larger point. that the systems like chat, g, b, t, r, or mere engineering achievements that are still far from being dangerous. and they can actually benefit workers and society. what do you say to that a well, i mean one has to read things carefully, obviously. and of course, in the media and in societies as always, many voices and some will be a launch, of course, also by a letter. but in general, this is not at all about a warning of a dangerous or maybe even sentiment, self aware a i or these kind of science fiction stories. this is merely warning about a new technologies which, which was definitely have a tremendous impact on how we live, how we work. and as it was, set, how we communicate. i mean, one of the strongest points of this engineering effort at the moment is not so much
5:20 am
to solve problems. we know it can do that, but sometimes it fails also, but it is very good at pretending to solve the problem. it gives us the impression of real intelligence, and this is something we have to get used to we as humans, and this will just take a while. so what more transparency in these models help others to see a little bit more behind the veil and potentially help distribute the benefits beyond just a few large companies that are reaping the benefits of these models? to some extent, yes, but it is certainly not the only measures that needs to be taking at the moment what we need really as a more trustworthy, more reliable a i where we can really truly understand what is going on behind the scenes and just stop by of course, trying to understand what these models are doing in on their own, by themselves as they are currently trained, but this will not be enough. we need additional safeguards, additional measures on top. and before and off,
5:21 am
does these models come into play in order to really create systems that can be relied on? and, and a lot of research is needed there. and a lot of academic work is still needed there before we can really push this into society and use it in a beneficial way. all right, that's marcus. crunch a to you. dresden. he saw that open letter warning about a i and the dangerous race to develop it. thank you very much. thank you. over to the u. s. now in a much anticipated congressional showdown. long time starbuck c. e o. howard schultz, defending his company's aggressive stance against union efforts in an appearance before a u. s. senate committee. i'm going schoultz, who's now the outgoing interim c. e o said his company had a right to push back against the efforts, and that it hadn't broken labor laws or punished employees. an administrative judge ruled against the company earlier this month, saying it intimidated workers and fired organizers. starbucks is appealing that decision, some 300 of starbucks, more than 15000 stores in the u. s. have voted to unionize. chair of the labor

committee congressman bernie sanders made the opening argument. and judges have found that starbucks broke the law, all $130.00 times across 6 states, since workers began organizing in the fall of 2021. i do take offense, i have to admit because it's quite personal. when you bring up things that you've heard that are not true, we have never ever taken any benefit away. and we, we never would. of anyone who was interested in joining a union. let's go and stuff on siemens in our washington bureau. stephan, how did this labor dispute turn into a of an issue for congress? ah, well, i tell you something. there were 2 really those 2 people, howard shoals, billionaire and c o 3 time c or star box and bernie sanders. those 2 couldn't be any more different and countering themselves so now burnt. now mister shows found

himself in the senate hearing because bernie sanders threatened him with a subpoena that they didn't want. and this was packed not for free coffee. there were a lot of people in this hearing, and they, and that's what the sound by we just ran didn't show. she broke out in laughter. after mister shows said that the company never broke broke a law and never punished anybody who was involved in or taking part in unionizing or organizing. so how did this end there? because the national labor board has filed so many complaints more than against any other company in the united states against starbucks for doing exactly what sanders said, they're breaking the law as a federal judge also concluded hundreds of times all across over the nation. stuff on this, this fight is already cost our bucks a tremendous amount of money. do we have any idea where it's going from here? well, if starbucks doesn't change, of course, then it will cost them even more money. that's is clear, but you know, so marx has
