The course is intended to suit teachers who are going to teach artificial intelligence in the upper secondary school. It has therefore both technical and didactic contents. The course brings up, on a general level, central technical principles that form the basis of today's AI systems, for example neural networks, knowledge representations and statistical methods. Furthermore, current AI applications, their possibilities and limitations, are dealt with. A didactic view permeates the course. At the same time as the students learn about AI technology, they work on transforming their newly acquired knowledge to contents suited for the upper secondary school.
