That's my personal biggest takeaway from "Humankind - a hopeful history" (German: "Im Grunde gut") by Rutger Bregman. In fact, Homo Sapiens even outperformed Homo Neanderthals even though they had a bigger brain.

AI Customer Customer Experience

This actor was created by an AI:In this case, the model is used for "good purposes", e.g. for video or photo shoots, as a moderator, as a face-to-the-customer in the customer success environment.In the future, however, we will also see more and more "bad actors", i.e. artificially generated 3D models that, for example, emulate an important personality and put words into his or her mouth.The phenomenon is already known today as "deep fakes."The Pandorra's box in this area has been opened.
