Osher Online: AI for Regular People   

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping nearly every aspect of life, from chatbots and autonomous vehicles to precision medicine and robotic art.  Revisit key concepts (including the history of AI and its surprising comeback) as well as timely examples and discussion topics that reflect the latest developments. In these jargon-free sessions, you explore what makes modern AI different from earlier attempts, how it works, and where it’s headed. You consider the human side of AI including the jobs it might replace or create, the ethical dilemmas it raises, and how it could help, or harm, your daily life. Whether you are curious, cautious, or excited about AI, this course provides ways to understand and engage with this powerful technology.
