The ratio of education and ki

In a time when technical skills are becoming increasingly important, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) is also being discussed. According to the Federal Center for Political Education, the relationship between people and AI has changed from dystopian fears to a conversation about values. The question arises as to which values should be integrated into the AI systems, and the discussion about universal values such as body dislocation and self-determination is crucial.

Education policy must aim to convey the necessary critical skills to deal with AI appropriately. Judith Simon, professor of ethics in information technology, emphasizes the responsibility of the developers of AI systems because these technologies can reproduce social inequalities. Suggestions for the use of AI in the education sector include the analysis and critical examination of content generated by AI.
