Discovering the World of AI
Understand AI through play: Discover how machines learn and take a look behind the scenes of computer games. Dive in now and get inspiration for teaching!
Overview
How does your phone know which song you want to listen to – and how can cars drive autonomously? Sounds like magic? Artificial Intelligence is all aroud us today – but how does it actually work? This course is designed especially help teachers and student teachers understand these topics and incorporate them into their lessons.
In this course, you will discover the basics of AI and its central ideas. You will learn how computers solve tasks and understand the difference between symbolic AI and machine learning. You will explore different learning methods, model simple AI systems yourself, and reflect on the societal opportunities, risks and ethical questions relating to AI.
Are you curious about AI but wonder how AI systems actually work and what role they play in our society? Then you’re in exactly the right place!
