AI skills for everyone: Regensburg launches first AI License for citizens

The Regensburg AI License, which is aimed at all sections of the population, was officially launched at a press conference today. The learning platform is designed as a web application and offers interactive content, videos, and practical application examples– regionally anchored, hosted in compliance with data protection regulations, and completely open source. At the end of the approximately 20-minute course, a digital certificate officially confirms successful participation.

Creating access to AI– building skills – breaking down barriers
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key technology of the future with– even today – great potential for society. In order to exploit this potential and use the technology responsibly, we first need a fundamental understanding of what AI is, how it works, and what opportunities and risks it entails, emphasizes co-initiator Prof. Dr. Georg Stephan Barfuß,economic, science, and finance advisor. To this end, the Regensburg AI License was developed in cooperation with regional stakeholders as part of the R_NEXT smart city project. The free learning platform provides basic knowledge about AI as well as information on ethical issues, data protection, andresponsible use. In the vivid and practical presentation, citizens encounter familiar places and local stakeholders in order to create identification with the topic and raise the profile of Regensburg as an AI location. Practical tips on the correct use of AI and suggestions for critical reflectionprovide additional support.

Following the successful launch of Regensburg s AI License, a thematic expansion, for example to include sustainability, is conceivable. The open-source approach also makes it possible to transfer the concept to other cities.
