Generative AI tools such as text or image generators are changing the way we work, learn and engage in creative activities. Especially AI-supported chatbots like ChatGPT are now used in many areas. For example, they can help you with writing, researching and programming.
On the AI Campus, you will learn how generative AI models are structured, how they work and how to use them in a meaningful way in everyday life. Without any prior knowledge, you can develop your own chatbot and, through learning by doing, explore both the potential and risks of GenAI.
