ChatGPT serves as both a teaching tool and an interactive element within our course. Its primary function will be to:
Demonstrate Real-Time AI Interactions: Students will interact with ChatGPT to see firsthand how AI can understand and generate human-like text. This direct interaction helps illustrate concepts such as natural language processing and machine learning in a tangible way.
Facilitate Project-Based Learning: ChatGPT will be used as a resource for students to develop their projects, such as creating a chatbot. It will provide assistance, answer questions, and offer suggestions, thereby enhancing the learning process through AI-driven insights.
Encourage Critical Thinking: By engaging with an AI, students will learn to evaluate the strengths and limitations of AI technology. This encourages critical thinking about the role of AI in society, its capabilities, and its potential biases.
