What Students Should Learn and Teachers Must Know About Artificial Intelligence

Simone Opel, Andrea Linxen, Christian Beecks

Abstract: Systems based on artificial intelligence have become prominent in nearly all domains. However, knowledge of the inner workings of these intelligent systems is not as widespread, partly because the associated issues have been discussed only to a limited extent in computer science education. In order to gain an overview of AI in curricula and to see what competencies teachers need to teach this content, the AI-related content of the computer science curricula of the German federal states was analysed and compared with existing approaches. Proposals for further training courses are derived from this to enable teachers to teach AI competently.
