4.2

As a career counselor at NYU, Nicole has worked with employers and students to identify the skills employers want most and students need the most help developing. Unsurprisingly, the answer to both is Artificial Intelligence, so Nicole has developed AI training programs for NYU students that she's brought to the Varsity Tutors platform, where she helps learners master AI skills to succeed in the classroom, in the job search process, and in their careers.

ABOUT THIS CLASS

AI is everywhere — in your search results, your feeds, your writing tools, even your group chats. But how do you know when it's helping you... and when it's fooling you?

AI Literacy is a crash course in becoming a smart, skeptical, and skilled user of artificial intelligence. You'll learn how to spot deepfakes and AI-generated images, evaluate AI-written answers (including your own!), and ask better questions when using tools like ChatGPT or Google's AI summaries. You'll also dig into how social media bots influence what we believe — and how to push back by asking smarter, tougher questions. By the end of the course, you'll be able to say, "I know how to use AI — but more importantly, I know how to question it."

SYLLABUS

Where AI Shows Up See how AI shapes your search results, feeds, writing tools, and even your group chats, and start learning to tell when it's helping you and when it's fooling you.

Spotting Deepfakes and AI Images Learn the signs of deepfakes and AI-generated images so a convincing picture or video doesn't slip past you before you believe it or pass it along.

Sharper Questions, Better Answers Ask better questions when using ChatGPT or Google's AI summaries, and check AI-written answers for accuracy, including the ones in your own AI-assisted work.

Bots, Beliefs, and Pushing Back Dig into how social media bots influence what people believe, then push back on misinformation by asking smarter, tougher questions about whatever AI hands you.
