Artificial Intelligence for Academia

Traget group: PhD candidates and postdocs, qualifying professors, science managers
Language: German
Duration of the program: 6 month

Program Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers great potential to simplify and improve scientific research, university teaching and university management. With AI, we can analyze data, use Chatbots to individualize learning experience and develop systems to optimize study processes and program.

The program provides an introduction to the three relevant forms of AI: Machine Learning, Generative AI and logic-based systems of symbolic AI. Subject-oriented self-study units and a learning platform accompany the thematically oriented workshops.

With this AI program, the Potsdam Graduate School (PoGS) offers you the opportunity to strengthen your AI skills. The focus is on the fundamentals of AI, the different types of AI and their areas of application. Information theory fundamentals, statistics, logic and algorithms are taught in order to develop a sound and critical understanding of AI.
