Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

This course provides a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence and its growing role in society, organizations, and everyday life. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding rather than programming, helping students develop the knowledge needed to understand how AI systems are created, trained, and deployed, as well as their capabilities and limitations. Students will explore the fundamental concepts, history, and evolution of AI technologies, including machine learning, generative AI, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and intelligent decision-making systems. By the end of the course, students will understand AI's impact on industries, decision-making, and work while building foundational knowledge to evaluate and use AI responsibly across academic, professional, and personal contexts.
