• Understand characteristics of AI systems and what makes them different from other software packages • Understand how AI systems use existing data to “learn” and improve their own abilities • Use existing tools to create and evaluate simple AI models • Identify situations where the use of AI can lead to ethical or moral dilemmas, especially in fields such as medicine, law and politics • Create and present a project using available AI tools

I will provide students with links to required readings and materials. Please bring a laptop, tablet or phone that you can use for the in-class AI activities.
