In this interactive learning opportunity, you will learn important fundamentals about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) works and its possible applications in medicine. After a brief historical classification of AI within the field of computer science, you will find out more about data (and data standards) as well as their value for the development of AI methodology. This is followed by a closer look at the two key subfields of computer science—machine learning and deep learning—using clear examples from a medical context. The online course introduces key terms and concepts intended to create a basic understanding for engaging with the topic of AI.
