We introduce the micro-degree “Artificial Intelligence and Society” developed by the University of Graz, a novel interdisciplinary program designed to bridge the gap between technical AI knowledge and its broader societal implications. Recognising the rapid permeation of AI into all aspects of life and the limitations of traditional educational systems in addressing this transformation, the target audience of the micro-degree is both students enrolled in traditional university degrees as well as the existing workforce. The 16 ECTS curriculum, spanning two semesters, covers the technical foundations of AI systems alongside their ethical, legal, economic, and educational impacts. It features a modular structure with basic knowledge lectures, hands-on application courses – including a mandatory technical AI course and electives in ethics, law, economics, and education –, and practicals where students implement AI-based solutions to real-world problems. Here, we describe the structure and content of the micro-degree, including the learning objectives of the individual degree modules. We also provide Open Educational Resources used for teaching the (mandatory) lecture and hands-on course on the technical foundations of artificial intelligence. This micro-degree represents a crucial step towards fostering digital humanism by enabling individuals to confidently understand, apply, and shape AI’s role in society.
