Guest on Chefgeflüster: How Much AI Is Good for Us?

I was a guest on the podcast “Chefgeflüster by Lars und Silvio”. Episode #42 is titled “Wie viel KI tut uns gut mit Alexander Weipprecht” (“How much AI is good for us, with Alexander Weipprecht”) and was released in October 2026. It asks where AI helps a business and where it costs customer data and control. The episode runs 1:37 hours and is also available as a video on Spotify: listen to episode #42 on Spotify.

I have been developing software for around 20 years. At Provimedia, we have been building exclusively AI solutions for businesses for two years. With the hosts Lars Piezl and master painter Silvio Kremzow, I talked about where AI helps in a business and where it becomes dangerous.

What is the episode about?

Among other things, we talked about:

• What happens when employees copy customer data into a free ChatGPT, and why that is a data protection problem.
• Why AI answers can be wrong even though they sound confident.
• Who decides what is true for AI when AI models help develop the next AI models and hardly any human checks them anymore.
• Experiences with a telephone AI in our own business.
• What Article 4 of the EU AI Act says about AI literacy. The law requires promoting this competence.
• What happens when an AI provider is hacked.
• Why businesses should write down their processes first before introducing AI.
• How ChatGPT and similar tools find a business in the first place.

The episode's guiding question: how much AI is good for us, and where do we have to stay human?

Who should listen?

The podcast is aimed at business owners and managers, many of them from the skilled trades. If you run a business and want to use AI without giving up control, this episode is made for you. You do not need any technical background. It is about decisions you have to make as a manager anyway.

To read afterwards: the seven rules from the episode

Not everyone listens for almost two hours in one go. That is why I wrote down the key points: seven rules with practical steps for your business. Figures and sources are properly documented there so that you can check everything.

If you would like to know how we build AI solutions at Provimedia, you will find our approach there. It always starts with your processes and not with the tool.
