Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will introduce students to AI, its history and technological foundations, its ethical, legal, societal and economic issues, its applications, its current evolution and trajectory as well as the skills needed to use proven techniques to most effectively and efficiently interact with the leading tools on the market today as well as adapt to new ones.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will be assessed based on four criteria:

Classroom participation in discussions and prompt generation in class. (30%)
An individualized project which uses AI to solve a problem the proposal of which will be submitted to the Instructor by Week 9 and the final product of which will be submitted by Week 13. (25%)
The final project completed in a proctored room on Week 15 which will test the students’ prompt engineering skills in real time. (30%)
Each student must contribute to one of the three track-based projects which will be presented on Week 14. (15%)

Please note, if a student misses more than one class, they will need to turn in a short written synopsis of the reading from that day.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Prüfungsstoff

Tracks
All students will be expected to attend all classes and practice the skill of prompt engineering across three types of AI interfaces based upon their input-output formats: Text to Text, Text to Image, and Text to Video.

The students will, however, be able to choose a track based upon their personal interest starting in week 3. The track they choose will determine the group they are placed in for their “track-project” as well as the focus of their individual project.

There are four specialized tracks based on the application of the skills students will develop:

Economic Applications: Banking, Finance, Customer Service, E-Commerce, Sales and Marketing.
Cultural Applications: Fashion, Music, Design, Architecture, Video Game and Art Generation, Preservation and Restoration, Collaboration and Curation.
Educational Applications: Personalized learning, Student Support, Administrative Tasks, and Interactive Learning.
Policy Applications: Business, State and Regional Policy concerning AI development and use.
