Who can participate?

The workshops are open to everyone. They are aimed at various target groups, including:

• School classes (students aged 14 and above together with their teachers)
• Experts and practitioners working in healthcare and care systems
• Educational professionals
• Non-governmental organizations and political decision-makers.

No prior technical knowledge is required. The focus is on the question of how AI systems can be made transparent and explainable. In a hands-on, practice-based setting, participants collaborate with TRR experts on real-world applications and experiment with creative, interactive technologies to make machine learning processes tangible and open to critical inquiry. Visualizations, experimental settings, and prototypical scenarios function as investigative tools for examining the operational mechanisms, decision-making processes, and inherent limitations of AI systems.

What does co-construction mean in CCWS?

In the workshops, explanations are developed collaboratively. The perspectives, experiences, and questions of the participants actively inform the collective co-construction process. The media education design is closely interlinked with fundamental theoretical findings from research in TRR 318. The aim is to jointly build a sustainable understanding of explainable AI (XAI literacy) that combines critical analysis, creative practice, and social reflection.

The workshops are part of the TRR 318's transfer and dialogue program and contribute to making current AI developments publicly accessible, open to critical debate and to co-creation.

What is the duration of a workshop?

A workshop usually lasts three to four hours. Depending on the target group, number of participants, and context, shorter impulse formats or full-day versions are also possible.
