Artificial Intelligence: Dealing with AI in the 21st Century

Artificial intelligence is no longer a matter of science fiction — it is already present on your phone, in your feed, and in the decisions that companies make about you. And the question is no longer "if" AI will impact your life, but "how" you will position yourself before it.

Most people use AI without understanding what lies behind it. Algorithms recommend what you watch, read, and buy. Language models write texts, generate images, and automate entire processes. Those who understand how this works have an advantage. Those who ignore it are vulnerable.

In this class, you will understand what AI is, how it works in practice, and how it is already transforming the job market, education, and society. We will explore the different types of artificial intelligence, their real-world applications, and the risks that come along — algorithmic bias, misinformation, and technological dependence.

We will also see how to use AI as a tool to boost productivity, learning, and creativity — without losing critical thinking. The idea is not to fear technology, but to know how to use it with awareness and strategy.

The goal is to develop real preparation for the present and the future. Because those who understand the tool are not replaced by it — they are amplified.
