Series of Talks »Blick über den Tellerrand«

Our series of lectures is held in German.

Once every month, the Fraunhofer ITWM opens its doors and invites everyone who is interested to broaden their horizon. The interdisciplinary lecture series »Blick über den Tellerrand« of the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics presents different perspectives on a wide spectrum of topics in the area of science and technology.

Exciting experts from a wide range of fields will speak and discuss with the guests. Everyone is cordially invited and admission is free. The event will take place on site at the Fraunhofer Center and will also be broadcast virtually.

»Blick über den Tellerrand« (Thinking Outside the Box) in June 2025

»Between Opportunities, Rules, and Responsibility: Artificial Intelligence in Schools and Universities«

 

Tuesday, June 10th, 2025 

from 17:00 to 18:30 

5pm – 6:30pm

The lecture will be held in German.

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the landscape of schools and universities – from the way we learn and teach to the way we evaluate knowledge. But these new opportunities also bring with them major challenges: How can we maintain performance standards and scientific integrity when texts can be generated in seconds? Who is responsible when AI is involved? And what skills do learners and teachers need to use AI confidently and reflectively?

The presentation provides an overview of the current state of generative AI in university studies and teaching. Concepts and experiences can be transferred to the school situation by analogy. Opportunities and risks are highlighted – from individual learning aids and automated feedback to the redesign of exam formats.

At the same time, it addresses key principles such as transparency, personal responsibility, data protection, and fairness. It becomes clear that schools and universities of the future need not only technology, but above all a clear stance, well-thought-out rules, and competent people.

A presentation for everyone who not only wants to use AI, but also wants to understand it, shape it, and use it responsibly.
