Invisible Intelligence: The Unseen Algorithms Reshaping Your Daily Life (Lecture)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) shapes our daily lives in subtle yet powerful ways. In this non-technical course, we will explore six case studies that reveal how AI systems work, the ethics behind machine decision-making, and the impact of these technologies on our world. We will gain a deeper understanding of AI’s current influence—and the possibilities ahead.

Your instructor: Eliot Bethke
