Module 1: Basic Knowledge Digitalization Research: “What is Software?” – Workshop

QPD Modul 1

In times of digitalization and chatGPT, software engineering is considered the key discipline. But what is software, how is it created and what does it have to do with AI and machine learning? We will walk through key concepts and come to a basic understanding of how algorithms work, and machines learn. Participants achieve a basic understanding for how software/algorithms are programmed and what machine learning is. Basic knowledge of this is key for participating in many current debates around AI, (search) algorithms, bias etc. So this course targets explicitly doctoral researchers from disciplines other than computer science and provides the opportunity to gain some insights into the world of algorithms.

Alexander Pretschner is chairman of the board of directors at bidt and Professor for Software and Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Munich.

  • Preliminary knowledge: This course is for beginners.
  • Language: English or German (slides in German)
  • Maximum number of participants: 20
