LD1016 Learning to learn with AI 2.0 credits

This course in artificial intelligence (AI) aims to familiarise the students with the basic principles and the concepts around the highly expansive and popular field of AI, including overviews for non-experts of historical developments in the area. The course also provides students with the opportunity to develop their self-reflection and self-analysis skills by analysing generated replies and reflect on how conversational AI can enhance the student's self-awareness. Through seminars and self-study, students are introduced to the possibilities of content creation with AI. Students also apply their critical and analytical skills to determine if AI results are reliable, unbiased and overall useful. Students reach this understanding by the means of:

· Information about the current developments in the field of AI, and research about its pedagogical and non-educational uses,

· Seminars, exercises and discussions of practical aspects of AI use, including ethical challenges,

· Practical exercises in how conversational AI can help them to identify and question existing thought structures.

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

· Explain the basic principles and the technologies for generative AI such as transformer architectures, basic models and in-context learning

· Use tools for generative AI as a conversation partner to create different types of contents and process new knowledge

· Apply skills in prompt engineering to ask questions that optimise the quality and relevance of results from generative AI, and to avoid potential pitfalls and bias

· Evaluate the ethical and social consequences of generative AI such as its effect on creativity, authenticity and disinformation

• Design and carry out a personal learning plan that includes generative AI as a resource and inspiration for the student's future learning and development

General entry requirements.
