With the rise of generative artificial intelligence, there has been a growing demand to explore how to use these powerful tools not only in our work but also in our day-to-day lives. Generative AI Essentials: Overview and Impact introduces learners to large language models and generative AI tools, like ChatGPT. In this course, you’ll explore generative AI essentials, how to ethically use artificial intelligence, its implications for authorship, and what regulations for generative AI could look like. This course brings together University of Michigan experts on communication technology, the economy, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, architecture, and law to discuss the impacts of generative AI on our current society and its implications for the future.

In this module, you will get oriented to the course, explore the foundations of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), and discover how it enables machines to create new content such as text, images, and designs. You’ll learn from leading experts who explain how AI systems, such as ChatGPT and large language models, work, and examine how these technologies are shaping fields ranging from architecture to everyday communication. By the end of the module, you’ll have both a conceptual understanding of GenAI and hands-on experience using generative tools to see their potential in action.
