Topics
The topics follow my videos. Each can be tailored to the age group and the time available.
How AI really works
Why chatbots make things up and still almost always agree with you. What a language model can do, what it cannot, and how to tell.
Spotting deepfakes and fakes
Fake images, voices and videos: how to recognise them, how to check a source and what to do if you are affected yourself.
My data, my photos
What apps and AI do with the data and pictures you upload. And which settings are in your own hands.
AI at school and for homework
Using AI sensibly without cheating: as a learning aid that explains and quizzes, not as a template to copy.
Programming with AI for beginners
First small programs of your own with AI support. And why you still have to understand what the code does before you use it.
AI and choosing a career
My path from the workshop floor to the managing director's chair, without a degree, from my book “Stallgeruch”. What AI changes about jobs and what stays.
For teachers: AI in the classroom
Rules for lessons, data protection with AI tools and an honest look at where AI helps learning and where it replaces it.

Who is speaking
I am Lars Zimmermann. Trained as a process mechanic, today managing director and ISO/IEC 42001 Senior Lead Auditor (PECB). My path ran through the workshop and production. I never went to university. That is what my book “Stallgeruch” (in German) is about. Professionally I check whether companies use AI properly. I bring exactly that view into the classroom: what the technology really does and where to look more closely.
Talks for companies, associations and professional audiences are on the speaker page.
