Overview

This course is designed to introduce students to the cutting-edge field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Across
detailed lectures, participants will gain insights into the core principles of AI and machine learning, explore
the intricacies of natural language processing, discover the potential of vision recognition and image
generation technologies, delve into reinforcement learning for sequential decision-making, and learn about
the design of recommender systems that power personalized user experiences. The course also examines
the burgeoning field of generative AI and the AI-generated content industry, while emphasizing the crucial
importance of bias assessment and the principles of responsible AI.

This course is designed for those who are interested in the inner workings of state-of-the-art AI technologies.
Specifically, it places emphases on the philosophy and intuition behind these technologies, as well as their
promises and perils, but not on the technical details.

Office Hours

E-mail is the fastest and most reliable way to contact me. I do not have “official” office hours, but I am
happy to meet with anyone who would like to make an appointment.
If you have any questions related to the lectures and homework, it is a good idea to raise them on Ed
discussion page on Canvas. The TAs will address your questions timely. This will also help others with the
same questions.

Please note that the course does not include review sessions.

Evaluation

Grades will be determined as follows: six homework assignments (30%), participation and professionalism
(20%), and an individual final exam (50%). For the homework assignments, you are encouraged to work in
groups of up to four students, with each group submitting a single, well-organized and professionally
presented write-up. Homework is due at the start of each class. The final exam will be a take-home
assignment, similar in style to the homework, but must be completed individually.

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites for this course. However, the material covered draws on a range of
background knowledge in economics, statistics, and finance. While MBA core courses are recommended,
they are not required.

Computing

Coding is not necessary for this course, though students are encouraged to use tools like ChatGPT to
experiment with code snippets and deepen their understanding of the lecture content. While coding skills
may be helpful for exploring concepts discussed in class, they are not required for any evaluation purposes.

Use of AI

In this course, students are allowed to use AI tools (such as ChatGPT) on all assignments. No citation is
required.
