Introduction
This course is a hands-on introduction to generative artificial intelligence. You will learn to use AI tools (not just ChatGPT!) to generate and manipulate text and images and analyse textual data.
These skills will be put to use right away in the form of a small guided course project, completed in teams of 1-3 participants. The project choice is entirely up to the participants; template project ideas will also be provided. The goal is to use AI to go from idea to product in four days. This outcome could be a research paper, data analytics project, blog, AI-assisted learning of a new skill, AI-driven product prototype, or anything else. Collaboration will be encouraged. Reading materials will be provided in advance. The course culminates with project presentations on the final day. The instructor will do his best to provide guidance and mentorship in the project development process. This course itself will serve as a proof of concept to demonstrate that many tasks that would otherwise have taken weeks or months can now be completed in a matter of days using the right tools.
Why this course?
- You have probably used some basic AI apps like ChatGPT; this is a chance to take the machine-assisted mindset to the next level
- Not just toy examples: produce an actual product or result based on your interests to use it in further academic or business venues.
- Personal expert mentorship from a multidisciplinary scholar with experience in both the private sector and academia.
Ideal Students
The target group is anybody looking to automate and augment their research, writing or product development processes, particularly using artificial intelligence and other machine learning-driven tools. The course is limited to 10-25 participants to foster a personalized approach.
