Demystifying AI

94-703

Units: 6

Description

This course is tailored for students in information systems and public policy management, focusing on the technical underpinnings of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for those without a background in programming. This course provides a deep dive into the core principles of AI, including machine learning algorithms, data analysis, and the mechanics behind technologies such as computer vision and large language models. Through engaging, no-code platforms, students will gain hands-on experience with the tools and techniques driving today's AI innovations. By dissecting real-world applications and their underlying algorithms, this approach ensures that students can critically evaluate and employ AI technologies within their disciplines, laying the groundwork for future exploration and responsible application of AI in societal and policy contexts. (Students with prior Python programming experience are requested to register for 95-891 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence rather than this course).
