Demystifying AI & Its Ethics

The release of publicly accessible artificial intelligence systems which generate text, images, and other media brought hype around AI to a fever pitch. This course breaks down the technical components behind these widely-known systems, starting with the basics of machine learning followed by a primer on generative models specifically. With this clearer understanding of current AI systems, we then turn to an overview of their ethical implications and explore a sociotechnical approach to understanding and mitigating their risks.
