Artificial Intelligence: Practice and Ethics for Common Users

Undergraduate

Given the ubiquitous use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in everyday applications either personal or commercial, students will be provided a foundational understanding of the history and evolution of AI, from classical reasoning processes to data driven generative models, addressing the individual, social, and economic implications. Students will be introduced to sample practical applications from various domains to enable them to understand how to use, build or customize simple applications, including aspects of prompt engineering. Privacy and security surrounding the ethical use of AI will be addressed. (Prerequisites: Must have completed semester 4 of studies). (3 lecture hours per week).
