AI Unplugged

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is becoming a topic of increasing social importance. Political reactions like the publication of the AI strategy of the German Government in
late 2018 are one indicator for that. But more importantly, we are already interacting with AI systems as if it were the most natural thing in the world, for example, when
using language assistants such as Siri or Alexa. Nevertheless, according to surveys, over 50% of Germans do not know what artificial intelligence is.

To address this issue, we have put together a collection of Unplugged Activities related to the topic of AI. Unplugged Activities provide approaches that help learners
of all ages to experience the ideas and concepts of computer science actively and do without the use of a computer.

This brochure contains five activities you can use to teach ideas and concepts of artificial intelligence to learners of all ages. Nowadays, AI is primarily realized through machine learning, but artificial intelligence is far more than that: AI is not only about technical aspects, but also raises questions of social relevance. This brochure shows possibilities, how these topics can be discussed with children and adults.
