Overview
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The AI revolution is rapidly changing the world as we know it – and ChatGPT is leading the way. In just two months after launch, it had already reached 100 million users and is seen by many experts as a potential game-changer when it comes to how humans live, learn, and work. This class is designed to help students take full advantage of ChatGPT and the AI revolution more broadly.
Most of us recognize that artificial intelligence has advanced to the point of being able to do things like driving cars, reading lung scans, or making better predictions about what we want to watch or buy than humans. But how does this remarkable technology work? How can it cause disruption in entire industries and render some high-level skills and occupations useless? What topics do students need to learn in order to succeed in an AI- dominated world?
In this class, Professor provides high school students with the tools they need to understand and excel in this new AI world. It covers not only the basics of ChatGPT, but also tackles the macro-level implications of AI on the economy. Technical principles of modern AI algorithms will be introduced and students will be encouraged to think critically about the skills and values that are needed to survive in a world vastly different from what our current educational system prepares us for. No specific math or programming experience is necessary – just a deep curiosity about how ChatGPT-like models and AI will affect our future.
