Specialization Course in Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Critical Thinking
Scientific Area
What do you know about Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Do you know what it is, what it’s for, and whether it’s harmful or beneficial to you?
When you use ChatGPT or another AI tool, connect your mobile phone to your car, receive calls on your watch that records your biometric data, do you really know what you’re doing?
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. It simply installed itself, it’s here to stay, and we accept it and change the way we live and do things, without time to question ourselves.
It serves us for almost everything, uses us as a source of data, and can diminish our brain potential and our ability to remain human.
It is in our hands to use AI to our advantage, instead of being used by increasingly complex systems, managed by entities that we often don’t know.
We can learn about technology and maintain critical thinking, something that deeply characterizes us as humans.
That is why, and for that reason, this course was created. We want you to know what AI is and the technologies connected to it, how they work, and how you can use them wisely, purposefully, and safely. The technological revolution is underway, it will continue, and it brings incredible possibilities.
Do you want to learn what it is and how to apply it, using your critical thinking, to obtain the best results?
Here you can do that, while there’s still time. The choice is yours. Will you delay, or will you come now?
