No other technology has affected creativity, the arts, and business as rapidly as artificial intelligence (AI). Course descriptionComprehension and fluency in Generative AI (GenAI) tools are fast becoming necessary for a diversity of entrepreneurs and content creators. This course introduces students to the verbal and visual GenAI landscape, including ChatGPT, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Runway, and other platforms, to build fluency while interrogating the promises and pitfalls of these technologies. We'll focus on critically understanding and leveraging these tools within the context of building a creative business and/or guiding an artistic journey. This course also addresses how new AI technology may produce bias and impact transparency, privacy, security, intellectual property rights, and other regulatory and compliance issues. / This course is part of the Creative Entrepreneurship undergraduate major.
