Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is rapidly changing human life as we know it—including the way we create, design, predict trends, and solve problems. Amid this societal transformation, there is a need for ethical leaders who can evaluate AI and establish protocols for its use.
The 15-credit certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Society prepares you to explore AI models through a cultural and moral lens, studying AI from implementation to after-effects. Just as AI is reshaping nearly every industry, this certificate likewise complements nearly any major.
Through your coursework, you'll develop skills necessary for critiquing AI models, investigating strengths and limitations of AI, and creating appropriate guidelines for AI use. Foundational courses will situate AI historically, through a cultural and moral lens. Elective courses offer deeper exploration into current uses of AI, emerging applications, and the cognitive functions of creativity—whether in humans or machines.
