The genre “presentation” represents a central communicative act in academic settings, particularly in foreign-language and subject-specific language courses accompanying academic studies, where technical content must be appropriately adapted to the target audience in oral format. However, it is precisely in this context that a special focus is needed on the influence and potential of AI in the creation and implementation of presentations. The objective of this article is to discuss how AI-tools — such as those for text generation, visualization, or language analysis — can support the creation, delivery, and reflection of presentations, but also what negative effects they may have on the development of students’ presentation skills in specialized and foreign language university courses. An overview of relevant AI tools that can also be applied in later professional presentation practice and is intended to provide teachers and learners with a practical repertoire of digital aids. The findings provide impetus for the responsible and skill-oriented integration of AI into foreign language teaching.
