AI for Problem Solving
This course explores how artificial intelligence can be harnessed as a powerful tool for creative problem solving. Through a hands-on, project-based approach, students will learn to define problems, generate ideas, simulate outcomes, and make strategic decisions using AI. From prototyping in engineering and design to addressing global challenges for social good, the course demonstrates real-world applications of AI across diverse contexts. Students will also critically examine the ethical implications of AI, including bias and accountability. The course culminates in an independent mini-project, giving learners the opportunity to develop and present their own AI-assisted solutions.
