“AI Ethics, Responsible Use, & Creativity” explores ethics and responsible use of generative AI tools for creative work. After completing this course, you will learn how to engage with generative AI tools with an eye toward intentionality, sustainability, and responsibility.
You will learn the SIFT (Specify, Identify, Focus, Trust) process for evaluating AI tools. This compact method helps learners employ AI successfully and sustainably by realistically approaching the technology and prioritizing intentional decision-making for individuals and enterprises. You will learn the practical application of the SIFT framework by using it to evaluate tools and creative work developed in the first course. You will also learn about the reputational and legal risks of using AI in creative fields. You will explore issues of environmental cost, cultural bias, and data risks of contemporary GenAI tools through readings and a guest lecture by expert Justin Joque.
This is the second course in “AI for Creative Work,” a series exploring how artificial intelligence can enhance the work of creatives.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
