In this ONLINE course, students will use Javascript and the OpenAI API to make small projects that leverage cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning. Prototype kooky chatbots, never-ending story-based games, fake-news generators, AI artists, and more. Assignments will range from targeted technical challenges to open-ended creative experiments. Learn about setting up a Node environment, network API calls with Javascript, and using the OpenAI APIs including GPT and DALL•E. Explore integrating LLM and Diffusion Models into your projects through hands-on experimentation. Discuss the practical implications, ethics, and future of using AI and ML technology in design practice. This is an intermediate coding course. Students should have completed an introductory programming course, have a foundation in Javascript and/or p5.js, and have a strong interest in coding. AI/ML experience is not required.

Open to: All University graduate students, and undergraduate juniors and seniors. Some seats have been reserved for MFA Design & Technology students.
