According to the Körber Stiftung , KI can not only recognize the individual learning status of the pupils by analyzing learning data, but also to adapt teaching content to respond to the specific needs and skills.

Especially in the MINT area-i.e. in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology-the positive effect of AI is shown. It closes gaps in understanding and increases motivation. In addition, AI not only promotes the learning process, but also innovation and research. The possibilities even extend to AI-supported virtual encounters with contemporary witness: inside that enable an interactive form of historical mediation.

challenges and competence development
