Abstract

Due to recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on many areas of life, this paper provides an overview of that field, focussing on current approaches, especially in schools. After a clarification of the particular terminology in a wider context, and after a short journey into the history of AI in schools, current initiatives and AI-related approaches on a school level are described. The disciplinary aspect of AI is highlighted. This paper concludes with some implications for the practice of AI education.
