0:04What exactly is artificial Intelligence?
0:08We speak of AI when computer systems perform tasks
0:11that usually require human intelligence.
0:14This includes, for example, recognising images,
0:17making decisions
0:18or engaging in dialogue.
0:21To do this, the AI systems must be equipped with knowledge and experience.
0:26This can be achieved in two ways:
0:30you can programme each individual instruction
0:32so that the machines solve the tasks step by step.
0:36This is comparable to a cooking recipe or assembly instructions.
0:40Alternatively, you can use programmes that learn from data themselves.
0:44This enables them to detect relevant information,
0:48draw conclusions or make predictions.
0:51This is known as machine learning.
0:55We all have probably dealt with AI at some point in our lives:
0:59When we watch films,
1:00listen to music or shop online,
1:02AI gives us recommendations about what we might like.
1:07AI is capable of converting spoken language into text
1:10and translating it into other languages.
1:17AI is a central component of robotics.
1:20Robots make our everyday lives easier
1:22or take on strenuous activities.
1:25Self-driving vehicles recognise their environment through AI
1:29and can react to it.
1:32AI is becoming increasingly important within medicine.
1:35It supports doctors when diagnosing diseases.
1:42Also, more and more patients
1:43use AI-based apps for initial diagnosis.
1:48In the educational sector, AI helps to individualise learning activities,
1:52for example on digital learning platforms.
1:55AI is becoming increasingly important.
1:59Once we understand how AI works,
2:01we can better gauge where it can support everyday activities at home and at work,
2:07and where we would rather make our own decisions.
2:10AI will not replace humans,
2:11but it is getting better and better at supporting us.
2:15For this, we need an AI-competent society.
