Foundations of Human-Centered AI

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, understanding its human implications is crucial. This course introduces the foundational concepts of Human-Centered AI, enabling you to approach technology design with a strong focus on ethical considerations, user experience, and societal well-being. By the end of this course, you will be able to critically analyze AI systems and apply human-centered design principles to create intelligent technologies that are fair, transparent, and beneficial for users. What you'll learn: * Understand the core principles and methodologies of Human-Centered AI. * Explore ethical considerations and responsible AI frameworks in system design. * Analyze sources of bias in AI and strategies for promoting fairness. * Grasp the concepts of explainable AI (XAI) for building transparent systems. * Apply human-computer interaction principles to design intuitive AI experiences. * Practice basic prompt engineering techniques to align AI outputs with human intent. The course begins with foundational concepts, then progressively delves into ethical considerations, fairness, transparency, and practical design approaches for AI systems. Learners will engage with conceptual explanations and practical examples throughout. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience in AI or human-computer interaction. No prerequisites are required. Begin your journey to designing thoughtful and impactful AI.
