Dan Lametti @daniellametti.com · 11/09/2026This course doesn't promote AI or teach you how to use it. Instead, it focuses on how language-based AI like ChatGPT works, and ethical, cognitive, and social issues associated with its use. The aim is to give students the knowledge they need to use AI in a more informed way, if they use it. 020
