This course will provide students with an overview of the ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to enhance and augment human communication. Students will learn about the history of AI, its current state, and potential applications in human communication. The course will cover a range of topics, including natural language processing (NLP), automated content generation, and the recognition and interface of human emotions. Through a combination of lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises, students will gain a deeper understanding of AI and its potential to transform human communication.
