The goal of the course is to give students hands-on experience with AI tools so they can learn firsthand about their capabilities, benefits, and risks. As students across the GSE develop their AI literacy and form their own stance on when they believe it's appropriate to use AI in their workflow, it is important that those positions be grounded not just in practice and intuition, but in direct knowledge of what these tools can and cannot do. This course provides a structured, low-stakes environment for that experiential learning, providing a safe space for accessible, reflective engagement with AI.
