The power of A.I.
The online learning module "The Power of A.I." provides insights into how artificial intelligence (A.I.) influences our everyday life and how it will continue to change it in the future. However, this learning module is not about programming A.I. systems. Instead, the goal is to get an idea of what A.I. means for our own lives and our future, what benefits A.I. entails and where it could do harm.
