In the realm of artificial intelligence, divergent viewpoints intertwine to paint a nuanced picture of progress and caution. Lars Bastholm extols AI’s creative potential, highlighting its ability to cater to human desires. Conversely, his colleague and friend Kåre Vedding Poulsen approaches AI with scepticism, citing concerns over biased decision-making and environmental impact. He questions the wisdom of sacrificing sustainability and human experience for technological advancement and laments the legal ambiguities surrounding AI innovation.
Supported by impressive and frightening case studies, their dialogue reflects the existential question of human relevance in an increasingly AI-driven world. As AI promises to fulfil our every need (like creating new episodes of our favourite TV shows), Kåre wonders about humanity’s place in this landscape and the importance of the human experience in creativity and life.
Both speakers embody the dialectic of progress and caution, reminding us of the complexities inherent in the pursuit of innovation. Their discourse serves as a call to arms, urging us to tread carefully on the path of technological advancement and safeguard our humanity amidst the tide of AI progress.

In the words of Doctor Who, they question whether “resistance is futile,” but also what society we do desire? Kåre suggests that the way of navigating all those fears lies in upcoming regulations that could guide us. In this discourse, the essence of human creativity remains paramount, a beacon guiding us through uncertain terrain.
