What will I learn?

You’ll start by studying the relationship between AI and society, as well as the basics of AI technologies, which will enable you to build AI tools designed by society, for society. After these classes-as well as some technical courses in calculus and computer science-you’ll explore how language works, how languages differ from each other, how computers process and generate language, and how AI systems can be designed to support language users of all kinds. The program culminates with a capstone course involving a real-world challenge where you can apply the skills that you have learned as part of a team of students.
