AI is everywhere, influencing how we work, live, and make decisions across industries and communities. This course, offered under the special topics umbrella this year, delves deeply into the critical and practical aspects of AI, equipping you with both the skills and the framework needed to navigate its complexities. You will have the opportunity to customize an AI tool, either for a simulated client or, when possible, an actual client with specific needs, giving you hands-on experience that prepares you for real-world applications.

It is important to understand not only how to use AI but also when it is appropriate, its limitations, and the associated risks and benefits. As AI becomes increasingly pervasive, being able to critically assess these factors is essential to harnessing its potential in a responsible manner.

This course is co-taught by a Professional Engineer with expertise in using AI for Industrial Engineering applications (Robert Newcombe) as well as Dr. Scott Flemming who has a wide-ranging academic background which enables him to provide students with a birds-eye view on some of the ethical and societal concerns that come with the design and use of AI.

Lectures will cover topics such as: What is AI?; AI and issues of Transparency, Privacy, and Bias; The Idea of Technocracy; The Difference Between Reason and Good Judgment; Is Technology Serving Us or are We Serving Technology?; Historically Marginalized Voices in Tech; Anti-Tech Movements; and, Non-Western Approaches to Technology.

The labs for this course will focus on practical aspects like customizing your AI tool using software like MS Copilot or ChatGPT, training and testing your AI, debugging, prototyping, and developing your final product. By the end of this course, you will have learned how to critically evaluate AI technologies and apply them in a meaningful, ethical way, equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.FORMAT: Lecture / Lab
