Intro to Artificial Intelligence

Understand what it is before deciding what to do with it. By the end of this course, you will understand what AI actually is — not the hype version and not the doom version. You will know the history that explains the current moment, how large language models work at a conceptual level, what they can and cannot genuinely do, what the research says about AI's societal implications, and how to develop a deliberate, intelligent relationship to the tools that are reshaping almost every field. You will also have a personal AI use policy. This is the course that cuts through the noise.
