By Alexander Piwowar
In this online course, you will learn how to navigate the jungle of artificial intelligence (AI). After familiarizing yourself with the basics of generative AI systems, you’ll begin to cut through the dense thicket of their possibilities and limitations. The goal of this course is to help you use the many small helper tools effectively in your studies — always in line with the guidelines at your university.
We start by examining the real potential of different categories of AI tools, including language models, image generators and more. This forms an important foundation, as you’ll want to make your way between AI hype on the one hand and popular technology criticism on the other — and develop your own informed perspective. You’ll learn why information literacy is essential for entering this new world without being overwhelmed by it.
As the expedition continues, you’ll receive practical tips on various tools we have tested for you. You’ll benefit from this by developing strategies to strengthen your information-literacy skills when working with AI. Learn how to critically analyze data, evaluate sources and make well-informed decisions.
Of course, you should not outsource the core competencies you need to acquire during your studies to AI. Instead, you want to grow and expand your skill profile with AI competencies? Then you’re in the right place! Dive into the AI jungle and become a skilled navigator in the world of artificial intelligence.
