Guiding principle: AI supports – the human checks, takes responsibility and decides. This comprehensive course (approx. 12 teaching units of 45 minutes each) shows you, in a practical and legally sound way, how professionals in social care settings can use AI safely, in compliance with data protection law and in an ethically responsible manner – in line with AI literacy as required by Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the EU AI Act. In 12 modules you will learn what generative AI can do and where its limits lie, how to protect personal data and social data (German Social Code Book X, SGB X; section 203 German Criminal Code, StGB), how the AI traffic-light system and the STOP-before-the-prompt check work, how to prompt safely and check AI outputs, how to reflect on bias and ethical questions, and how managers shape AI governance. Each module offers learning objectives, well-founded learning text with visualisations (compass, traffic light, decision trees), an in-depth section, a practice case and a transfer-to-practice exercise. Please note: this is a training offer for developing competence; it is not individual legal advice and does not confirm ‘AI Act conformity’.
