AI 102: AI for Everyone: Foundation and Applications

This course introduces students from all disciplines to the foundations of Artificial Intelligence (AI),
combining conceptual understanding with practical application in everyday life, education, business, and
society. It provides a non-technical overview of key AI concepts, techniques, and tools, including how
machines learn (machine learning), how generative systems create content (generative AI), how
machines understand human language (natural language processing), and how machines interpret
images (computer vision). In addition, the course addresses ethical principles, regulations, and
responsible AI use, with particular attention to bias, chatbots, and large language models in educational
contexts. Learners examine AI’s impact on daily life, social media, data-driven decision-making, and the
creative arts. Hands-on components introduce AI programming through visual coding, enabling students
to develop foundational technical skills alongside critical and societal awareness.
