AI Tools and Workflows: Practical use of contemporary AI tools and platforms for text, image, and data analysis, with emphasis on responsible and transparent usage.
Build-Oriented Projects: Step-by-step development of small-scale AI-assisted applications or prototypes, focusing on iterative design and evaluation.
Ethics and Critical Thinking: Examination of ethical considerations, societal impacts, and decision-making implications of AI deployment.
Communication and Interpretation: Interpreting AI outputs, validating results, and communicating findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
Outcomes: By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Explain fundamental AI concepts and distinguish between different types of AI and machine learning approaches.
Formulate practical problems that can be addressed using AI-based methods.
Use AI tools to support analysis, content creation, and decision-making in a controlled and critical manner.
Develop and present a simple AI-assisted project, demonstrating an end-to-end workflow.
