• L0: Introduction to AI

    In this module, you will learn how Artificial Intelligence (AI) influences society and its different domains. 


    The AI systems available today already show how our lives are once again being revolutionized in many ways. AI technologies mark a new stage of digital transformation, as these systems are able to develop their functions largely autonomously from the data sources and goals made available to them. New skills and a basic understanding of how these technologies work are required to exploit the opportunities of this technology and to better assess the risks and negative effects. In this module, you will be introduced to the field of AI and learn how it is changing disciplines and society, and what skills are critical in an AI world.

    After this module, you will be able to...

    • explain the history of AI and the milestones in its development, as well as its relevance for society. 
    • describe examples of the success of AI systems in society. 
    • describe how AI systems are used across domains. 
    • reflect on the impact of AI on itself, your domain, and society overall. 
    • reflect on the current status of the AI field development. 
    • reflect on which competencies are going to be necessary for future professionals in a world with AI systems.
