What is the course about?
Artificial intelligence is one the hottest topics in technology these days, but few understand the key concepts behind it. This course will introduce you to the ways in which machines think like humans. You will also develop an understanding of some of the ethical implications of AI along with a summary of the past, present, and future of this groundbreaking field.
Please note: this course provides a broad overview of AI concepts, including its history, key algorithms, and ethical considerations. It does not include hands-on training with Generative AI tools like ChatGPT.
If you're looking for a more practical, tool-based course, you may wish to consider Generative AI: A Short Introduction course or AI in Business: Exploring Concepts and Real-World Applications course
Participants who will attend the full course will receive a City Lit certificate of attendance electronically for their CV or CPD records. The certificate will show your name, course title and dates of the course you have attended.
What will we cover?
• Definitions - What are the key AI terms?
• History of AI - How did we get here?
• Demos & Exercises - What can AI do for you?
• Mechanics - How does AI work?
• Ethics - What are some of the pitfalls and concerns?
• The Future - Where is AI going?
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
• List key milestones in the history of AI
• List examples of start-of-the-art AI algorithms and explain how they work
• Debate some of the ethical issues associated with the use of AI
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
The course is introductory, so no skills needed. All levels welcome.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
The session will consist of interactive lectures, technology demonstrations, and lots of open discussion. No homework is expected outside of class.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
There are no other costs. You may choose to bring your own laptop if you prefer.
