Art and AI Workshop

Description:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly relevant to art learning with applications in art creation, at understanding and ethical implications around creating with AI. AI is also becoming critical in youth’s future careers – included creative careers. Most AI learning resources are currently geared towards CS and STEM classrooms. In this workshop, we explore how we can use AI for creative learning. Students will learn about how foundational generative AI models work, how they can be used in creative fields, what their social and ethical implications are, and even create creative robots. This is a 20 hour offering with a flexible scheduling.
