Crash Course – AI in the Wild

Crash Course is a one-hour College of Arts & Letters sample class presented on home football Fridays!

Each session features an A&L professor leading a class pulled directly from some of the most popular and riveting courses on campus. Alumni, friends, prospective students, parents, and anyone else on campus are welcome to participate in these explorations of fascinating topics.

Course topics this year will focus on generative artificial intelligence, living a good life, football in America, creating compelling characters through voiceover, sports economics, and more!

All lectures begin at 2:30 p.m. in 155 DeBartolo Hall. No ticket is required.

AI in the Wild
Generative artificial intelligence is a type of AI in which computer systems generate media such as text, images, sound, video, or combinations based on prompts or other information provided to the computer. These systems — including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, and DALL-E — are evolving rapidly and have led to extreme excitement, confusion, and fear. In this session, attendees will actively participate in learning how systems like ChatGPT work, how to predict and manage their behavior, and how to consider some of the social and personal consequences of their application.

With 20 departments across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, the College of Arts and Letters is home to exceptional faculty and talented students who are studying what they love. It's an environment to ask big questions, read classic texts, and explore languages and cultures.

We're not just about learning through acquisition. We're about learning through exploration. Our undergraduate students travel the globe to research topics that fascinate them, then turn their observations into conclusions about the world.

Through the liberal arts, you learn to read deeply. Think about issues critically. Discuss topics thoughtfully. Write arguments persuasively. Contribute to projects creatively. And these abilities aren't just vital in the classroom—they're exactly what employers, graduate schools, and service organizations are looking for.
