DM2588 Generative AI for Media Technology and Interaction Design 7.5 credits

• The bases of generative artificial intelligence, AI (historical, theoretical, conceptual and practical).
• Common applications of generative AI (including trends).
• Application programming interfaces for generative AI.
• Creativity and generative AI (views on creativity, art and artistic work and related applications of generative AI).
• Generative production in media, generative design and art.
• Education and generative AI (challenges, possibilities and risks).
• Ethical perspectives on use of generative AI (for example values, independence and ownership).

• The future for generative AI (the development we can expect).

After passing the course, the student should be able to

• describe the fundamental theoretical and conceptual bases of generative AI
• describe how generative AI has been developed historically
• describe the application space for generative AI
• analyse and describe possibilities and limitations to create texts and other content with generative AI
• use generative AI to create content as texts, images, number, music and video
• use application programming interfaces for generative AI
• analyse the possibilities about how generative AI should be able to support creativity
• analyse ethical challenges and risks with generative AI as for instance ownership and independence related to digital content that partly or completely has been generated with AI
• analyse and discuss possibilities with generative AI in relation to sustainability
• assess and discuss questions around equal opportunities, diversity and equal conditions related to generative AI

in order to be able to use generative AI for media technology and human computer interaction from human, ethical and sustainable perspectives.
