The Hamburg State Institute for Teacher Training and School Development (LI) operates a Competency Centre for AI established in February 2023, jointly with the city school authority (Schulbehörde) and the Artificial Intelligence Center Hamburg (ARIC). The centre publishes Guidelines for the Use of AI Systems in Schools and Teaching covering pedagogy, legal aspects, and data protection, and has run roughly 100 training sessions with nearly 5,000 participants. A separate Hamburg directive sets rules for AI use in performance assessment and examinations.
Who it affects: Teachers across Hamburg state schools, plus students subject to the assessment directive.
What is notably missing: No binding curriculum mandate for AI literacy at the Hamburg state level, no statutory funding line, and the training programme is voluntary rather than required before classroom AI use.
