Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live, work, govern, and know the world — but who does it serve, and at what cost? This course demystifies AI through hands-on experimentation with real tools while critically examining how algorithms shape power, inequality, culture, and global systems.
What to expect
Students will build and test a simple no-code AI model, conduct an “everyday AI” ethnography, and collaborate on two group projects analyzing or designing an AI system. Across presentations and short written deliverables, they will apply social science theory to real-world technologies while critically evaluating bias, power, and global impact. By the end of the course, students will be able to both use AI tools and analyze them with confidence and ethical awareness.
