AI - hype, help or danger? Educating and supporting children and young people

Learning new things and doing homework with a chatbot, playing music by voice command via a smart speaker and content recommendations according to personal taste - artificial intelligence (AI) is an integral part of our everyday lives. Children and young people in particular use AI tools as a matter of course, but not always consciously. AI technologies are developing rapidly and constantly. It is not easy for parents to maintain an overview: Which applications are particularly popular with young people? What opportunities, challenges and risks arise when using them?

In the parents' evening, we present the most popular AI applications and look at their significance in the everyday media lives of adolescents. One focus will be on the risks for children and young people when communicating with chatbots, e.g. disinformation, responses that are not age-appropriate or problematic and when interpersonal relationships are replaced in this way.

Parents, educators and interested parties will receive practical tips on how to introduce children to a safe and responsible use of (generative) AI. You can ask questions to our experts - we will provide answers and be available for discussion!
