Artificial Intelligence for Users
In this course, you’ll quickly gain a clear understanding of what AI is, what’s actually happening right now, and what that means for you. You’ll learn to understand the most important developments, so you can better make sense of what you hear and read about AI. After that, you’ll mainly get to work on your own. You’ll gain hands-on experience with current and accessible AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Perplexity. No theory for theory’s sake—just immediate application.
These days, you hear about AI more and more often—in the news, at work, and in our daily lives. At the same time, AI raises many questions. What exactly is it? What can AI do, and what can’t it do? And how do you use AI—even if you don’t have a technical background?
In this course, you’ll quickly gain a clear and realistic overview of artificial intelligence. You’ll learn what AI is, which developments are relevant, and what this means for you as a user. This will help you better understand and contextualize news, trends, and discussions about AI, as well as respond to and make use of these new trends yourself.
After the introduction, you’ll mainly get hands-on experience. You’ll work practically with accessible AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Perplexity. No complicated theory or programming knowledge required—just direct application in familiar situations from work and daily life.
During the introduction to AI, we lay the foundation for AI terminology. We distinguish between different forms of AI and discuss what this technology can and cannot do. This creates a realistic picture that helps you understand AI without overestimating or mistrusting it.
This introduction ensures that all participants start with the same basic knowledge, regardless of their background.
You’ll get an overview of what AI is today and how it’s used. We’ll discuss where AI comes from, why it’s advancing so rapidly now, and which forms of AI you already encounter in your daily life.
We explain how AI systems work in plain language, without technical jargon. You’ll learn the difference between generative AI, machine learning, and deep learning. We’ll also explore why AI sometimes seems surprisingly smart but also has clear limitations.
• What AI is and what it isn’t
• Which AI applications are truly relevant to you
• How to use AI as a tool, not as a replacement for your own thinking

Do you have questions about the course content? Or are you unsure whether the course aligns with your learning goals or preferences? Would you prefer an in-house or private course? We’d be happy to help.
No. Modern AI tools are actually designed for non-technical users. You’ll learn to use them with simple instructions (prompts) written in plain language, without any programming knowledge.
No. Many people are still just getting started. By gaining an overview now and getting some hands-on practice, you’ll lay a strong foundation that will allow you to keep pace with future developments.
AI can help with writing, summarizing, explaining concepts, generating ideas, conducting research, creating visuals, and saving time on repetitive tasks. In this course, you’ll discover which applications are relevant to you.
AI is a tool, not a source of absolute truth. In this course, you’ll learn how to evaluate results, what to look out for regarding privacy, and when you should—or shouldn’t—trust AI.
