Course Description

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been playing increasingly prominent roles in today's public and private sectors. The recent rise of ChatGPT and other generative AI applications, in particular, has accelerated the adoption of AI among individuals, institutions, industries, communities, and societies. As a technology dating back decades, AI is complex, multifaceted, and dynamic, involving different techniques, categories, philosophies, use cases, and varied value and risks. Developing and maintaining an in-depth, nuanced, and up-to-date understanding of AI, related concepts enabling the emergence of AI including big data and digital platforms, and the best practices and lessons learned during the design, implementation, and use of these technologies in diverse contexts is critical to public policy. Such knowledge enables today's and tomorrow's practitioners and policymakers to design roadmaps, frameworks, strategies, artifacts, services, processes and policies to contribute to prosperity, sustainability, equity and inclusion worldwide.
