AI Cards®
What AI can do — overview
The AI Cards® organize AI into categories. It’s like dividing a large book into chapters – it helps people get an overview and digest the content more easily.
Go through the categories to get an overview of AI. Notice that we are not on tool level but capability level — on tool level you are always behind. The capabilities are more steady. Having found an AI capability you could need, you can always go down ask your AI assistant which current AI tool serves that best. Voila.
Within an AI category we have 5 to 11 cards, each describing a specific AI capability.
Dive into a category by going through the cards in that category — you might be surprised by how much AI can do in that area.
3 themes, 12 AI categories
93 AI capability or child cards
The backside.
The backside of each AI Card® states 3 AI uses cases illustrating that AI capability.
Dive further into each AI capability by looking through the “About this AI Card®” text and example use cases.

How to talk about AI with your team
A great starting point is to pick a single AI category — such as „AI finds and organizes information.“ Suppose you‘re working on a project and need various pieces of data. You could ask: „Wouldn‘t it be useful if we could automatically gather and sort all the relevant information?“ And just like that, you‘re talking about an AI category. You might even show your colleagues the corresponding AI Cards® for that category.
If a colleague brings up an AI use case they‘ve heard about, simply pull out your AI Cards® and ask: „What exactly are we talking about?“ By matching their use case to the relevant AI Cards®, everyone gains clarity on which category — and specific technologies — are involved.
Where you can apply AI in your work and your products
Write down your main tasks at work. Mark one that’s most difficult.
Flip through the AI Cards® to see which AI capabilities could help with the task you marked. Set aside any AI Cards® that seem useful.
Prioritize to the top 3 AI Cards®.
Alternatively, start with the AI Cards® and keep your overall role in mind. Exploring the cards first can inspire bigger ideas, so you don't stop at routine tasks but discover ways AI could truly transform how you work.
Describe how you would use these 3 AI Cards® to complete your selected task.
Write down what your remaining role will be in the task — or whether AI will handle it entirely.
Make a quick return on investment calculation. If the numbers look good, talk to your manager and brief an AI specialist on the specific solution you need.
Now that you've outlined how AI can help you, ask an AI assistant which current tool does it best.
Ethical Risk Mitigation Cards
The Ethical Risk Mitigation Cards make sure no one gets hurt
AI has already caused real harm: people have been wrongly denied jobs, flagged as criminals and treated unfairly in healthcare. Organizations have paid with lawsuits, fines and lost trust, and so has AI itself.
What the Ethical Risk Mitigation Cards are
We‘ve organized AI ethics into five categories. Each card covers one ethical principle, explains it in plain language, and tells you how to mitigate the risk. This allows you to consider all ethical perspectives without overlooking any, and find the ones most relevant to you and your use of AI.
The cards are based on the EU AI Act, Responsible AI frameworks from Microsoft, Google, and IBM, and international standards from the UN, OECD, and IEEE. On the back of each card you‘ll find the specific sources it is based on.
You can use them in two ways:
Check your own AI use
Once you've picked the AI Cards® that could help you in your work, turn to the Ethical Risk Mitigation Cards. Check whether your AI use could cause harm, and shape it responsibly.
Lead ethical discussions with colleagues
Some people are skeptical about AI for good reasons. The Ethical Risk Mitigation Cards give you a structured way to have those conversations. Point to specific cards and ask: are we talking about this concern? Have we considered this one? Then turn the card around — on the back you‘ll find concrete suggestions for how to mitigate that risk. This turns a conversation that might have been fearful and blocking progress into one focused on how to move forward responsibly.
