Digitale Gerechtigkeit - Wie du dich für eine fairere KI-Zukunft engagieren kannst
Jennifer Fritz

Künstliche Intelligenz ist längst Teil deines Alltags geworden. Von Empfehlungsalgorithmen in sozialen Medien bis hin zu dem generieren von Geburtstagsgrüßen – fast überall kann heute KI drin stecken. Doch KI-Systeme sind nicht neutral: Sie können diskriminieren, ausgrenzen und bestehende Ungerechtigkeiten verstärken. Wir zeigen dir, wie du das erkennst und was du dagegen tun kannst.

Dieser Kurs richtet sich an Schüler:innen ab der 9. Klasse, aber auch alle anderen sind herzlichst willkommen.
