At Teaching Day, we explored the fascinating world of artificial intelligence together with our faculty. Central questions included: Why does AI play an increasingly important role for our university, teaching, and research? What legal frameworks are relevant? What opportunities and risks does modern AI bring – and what ethical questions must we consider?
Alongside two stimulating keynotes from Prof. Dr. Alexandra Jorzig and Prof. Dr. Markus Dormann, Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas Ufer presented the newly established Ethics Council.
Particularly exciting was the look at AI's didactic possibilities in teaching: How can AI support, individualize, and optimize teaching and learning processes? What role do learning analytics, adaptive learning environments, and automated feedback systems play? The discussions made clear that AI in educational settings goes far beyond simple automation – it can further differentiate personalized learning, analyze learning behavior, and specifically support educators, but must always be considered within ethical and legal frameworks.
The topic of AI in examinations was also discussed: What new challenges arise from AI-powered tools in assessment? How can examination formats be adapted to ensure responsible AI use? And what role do authenticity, fairness, and equal opportunity play?
The lively discussions with our faculty and external lecturers showed how relevant this topic is. The day was a complete success and made clear: AI doesn't replace teaching – but, when used competently, can enrich it.
