Description:
Generative AI isn't just a tool—it's an invitation to shape the future of how we engage with technology. This course puts the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) into the hands of designers, thinkers, and creators, empowering you to move from passive consumer to active author. Through hands-on experience you'll learn how to prototype with cutting-edge design tools and frameworks that are making AI more accessible to non-technical designers. By diving into cross-media applications—text, image, video, sound, code—you’ll explore the rich potential of generative AI, while examining the ethical and design challenges it presents.Together, we’ll explore the “design” of AI through multiple lenses—from user interaction and UX/UI to the foundational architecture of LLMs. The aim: to ignite a richer, more inclusive conversation about what we build, why we build it, and how we can drive the future of AI in more responsible, human-centered directions.This is your chance to not just understand generative AI, but to help design it. Prototyping is no longer for engineers alone—join the conversation and be a part of shaping this transformative technology.
