Although this course is largely non-technical, engineers can also take this course to learn the business aspects of AI.
Elements of AI (German / English)
The Elements of AI” is a series of free online courses developed by the Finnish consultancy Reaktor and the University of Helsinki. The aim is to bring the topic of AI closer to as many people as possible: What is AI? What can AI do (and what not)? And how are AI methods developed?
The courses combine theoretical knowledge transfer with practical exercises, and the participants can determine their own learning pace.
A basic knowledge of mathematics is helpful, but not absolutely necessary. The course can be held in 2-3 days (with previous knowledge) or over a few weeks.

The national AI competition is aimed at pupils from the 8th grade upwards who are interested in the topic of AI. This year it will be held for the second time (https://bw-ki.de/ ).
To learn the basics of AI programming, there is a free online course for students, teachers and all interested people. The course includes a tutorial that enables the programming of an own AI.
