SYMSYS 195A

Design for Artificial Intelligence (CS 247A)

UNITS:3-4
GRADING:Letter (ABCD/NP)
LEVEL:Undergrad
GER:—

A project-based course that builds on the introduction to design in CS 147 by focusing on advanced methods and tools for research, prototyping, and user interface design. Studio based format with intensive coaching and iteration to prepare students for tackling real world design problems. This course takes place entirely in studios; you must plan on attending every studio to take this class. The focus of CS 247A is design for human-centered artificial intelligence experiences. What does it mean to design for AI? What is HAI? How do you create responsible, ethical, human centered experiences? Let us explore what AI actually is and the constraints, opportunities and specialized processes necessary to create AI systems that work effectively for the humans involved. Prerequisites: CS 147 or equivalent background in design thinking. In the event of a waitlist, acceptance to class based on an application provided on the first day of class.
