Overview of class

In this course, students will explore issues related to human-AI communication and collaboration through weekly readings and design prompts. Students will engage in speculative and critical design activities where they imagine future possibilities and alternate trajectories for human-AI interaction. This is a good course for graduate students interested in learning about speculative design as a research methodology and/or thinking critically and creatively about human-AI interaction.
