Recommended Literature for Module 09
Completion requirements
Generative KI is a very broad and rapidly evolving subfield of AI. Therefore, we cannot cover the entire spectrum of this subfield in our course. However, if you would like to learn more about generative AI, we have further reading recommendations on this topic for you. Some of the readings relate to the topics of some groups in the final project. Therefore, we recommend these readings especially for these groups. See our list of recommendations below:

In addition to deepfakes, generative AI also raises other ethical concerns, such as copyright infringement, the impact on creative professions, and bias. To learn more about these topics, we recommend the following articles:
