CAS-204 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
This course offers a foundational introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). We will explore the basic concepts behind how machines learn from data, as well as real-world examples of AI/ML applications in fields like healthcare, business, and entertainment. Students will also gain insight into how AI models are trained, what makes them effective, and the potential societal impacts of AI technologies. The course is designed to provide a strong conceptual understanding, making students comfortable with key terms and principles while avoiding technical details like coding. This course is suitable for students from all majors, including those without programming backgrounds, but with an interest in understanding the foundational concepts behind AI/ML. It is ideal for students who are curious about how AI/ML systems work in a broad sense.
