CLASS NUMBER:

INSTRUCTOR:
TIME:
Mondays, 2-4:30 PM
LOCATION:
GLS House, 2114 Campus Drive
DESCRIPTION:
Through conversation, practice, and engagement with technical tools and critical thinkers, we’ll investigate how AI tools are creating knowledge, producing relations, redefining the human, auto-generating evidence and artifacts, and building (and ruining?) worlds. We’ll look at how AI-augmented digital tools and techniques are situated within systems of oppression (racism, sexism, ableism), and how they might be designed toward liberation. We’ll interrogate how intelligently augmented tools are governing our actions and interactions - asking ourselves at what point we’ll wonder, Am I AI? - and how AI might be rewriting the past and automatically generating the future.
