Ethics is an ongoing conversation in this course. We explore real-world media cases and fictional scenarios to discuss bias, transparency, and the need for human oversight.
3. What tools will we use?
We use practical browser-based Generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) to practice prompting and facilitation techniques.
