Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we learn, work, and create. This course provides a foundational understanding of generative AI tools for non-technical users, focusing on their basic functions, practical applications, and ethical considerations. Students will explore the benefits and limitations of generative AI and develop key career competencies as they learn to select appropriate AI tools, meaningfully apply AI tools to specific tasks, and critically evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy, relevance, and bias. Students will also engage with the ethical implications of AI and consider how such tools align with their own personal, academic, and professional values. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to use AI tools responsibly and effectively in the workplace and beyond.
