This course offers an easy-to-follow introduction to artificial intelligence and how it is already part of daily life. You will explore both the helpful side of AI and the moments when it fails or can cause problems. The sessions will show how your ideas, experiences, and values matter in shaping these systems, and how you can take part by giving feedback and guiding improvements. The aim is to give you confidence to use AI in positive ways while also helping it become more fair and inclusive. -

The modern university is currently facing its biggest existential threat in recorded history! That is, the widespread use of actual humans (AH) – i.e., people – to write student essays. Using cartoons, illustrations, and drawing from the canon of science fiction, e.g., Star Trek, this lecture will take a satirical and critical appraisal of artificial intelligence (AI) models for student essay writing. The target audience is those who still use e-mail and who need assistance to update their iPhones. -

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how we find, understand, and organize information—not just for professionals, but for anyone curious about the past. Using family history research as a hands-on example, this course explores how AI can assist with tasks like transcription, translation, summarization, and research planning. Whether you’re a genealogist or simply interested in how AI works in everyday life, you’ll learn practical techniques you can apply immediately. Along the way, we’ll also demystify concepts like family relationships (yes—even “second cousin once removed”) and discuss where AI helps—and where human judgment still matters. -
