Fake news and AI

Today - in the age of Facebook, X (Twitter) and Instagram - the possibility of influencing public opinion on a large scale is theoretically available to everyone. The elections in the USA are a current example of this.

Opinion-making in the digital media is now also led by so-called social bots - automated programs that pretend to be human. Artificial intelligence and deep fakes influence our perception.

How do teachers deal with this? An overview and teaching materials.

Learning and teaching with AI

Artificial intelligence will soon be taking over work that was previously reserved for managers, technical experts or highly paid specialists. This also applies to teaching - we will explain how AI works and what impact it will have on our everyday school life.
