Trust in AI – how we can trust AI with a human life
Large language models (LLMs) such as Aleph Alpha or OpenAI are shaking up the world. ChatGPT has sparked discussions about AI. While AI models make life easier, they also pose new challenges. However, not only can we use LLMs to gather information, but we can also use them to make decisions for us and ask them for help. But how reliable is this technology and would we trust it with a human life? I will answer these questions in my blog post.

This blog post shows how this works.
