What will significantly shape the economy and society in this century compared to the past? Which disruptive technologies seem like they will be decisive in the years to come? We asked communications scientist Miriam Meckel her opinion on this.

In her interview, communications scientist Miriam Meckel talks about two key challenges for the local industry: the competition for quantum computing and the artificial intelligence race.

Meckel sees investment in research and development as key to keeping a finger on the pulse here - because in the future, there will need to be a lot more than ChatGPT.
