  Applications such as ChatGPT and WOMBO Dream make it easy to inspire students
without programming knowledge to use artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore,
given the increasing importance of AI in all disciplines, innovative strategies
are needed to educate students in AI without programming knowledge so that AI
can be integrated into their study modules as a future skill. This work
presents a didactic planning script for applied AI. The didactic planning
script is based on the AI application pipeline and links AI concepts with
study-relevant topics. These linkages open up a new solution space and promote
students' interest in and understanding of the potentials and risks of AI. An
example lecture series for master students in energy management shows how AI
can be seamlessly integrated into discipline-specific lectures. To this end,
the planning script for applied AI is adapted to fit the study programs' topic.
This specific teaching scenario enables students to solve a discipline-specific
task step by step using the AI application pipeline. Thus, the application of
the didactic planning script for applied AI shows the practical implementation
of the theoretical concepts of AI. In addition, a checklist is presented that
can be used to assess whether AI can be used in the discipline-specific
lecture. AI as a future skill must be learned by students based on use cases
that are relevant to the course of studies. For this reason, AI education
should fit seamlessly into various curricula, even if the students do not have
a programming background due to their field of study.
