What is artificial intelligence and what can it do today? What are the technical basics and what effects does artificial intelligence have on work and society? The seminar looks at the technical and methodological foundations of artificial intelligence, gives an overview of today’s fields of application and research, shows the limits, and separates fiction from reality. It gives an overview on how to access AI systems and gives basic knowledge on how to deal with AI. We discuss the influence of AI on workplaces and tasks, on political processes, and consider the different developments in individual countries. Furthermore, we discuss AI-specific ethical and moral issues such as trained bias, deep fakes, traceability of decisions, and regulatory options.
You will learn what an AI defines and how it works in principle, how you can access an AI system today, and how AIs can be used. Online discussions and current case studies complement the individual topics.
