Artificial intelligence is shaping how we create, think, and make decisions. Yet most people encounter it only through tools, without understanding the internal workings, what assumptions they encode, and what changes when we allow them to stand in for human judgment or creative labor.

AI, Creativity, and Ethics, taught by computer science faculty, Darcy Otto, is a workshop that offers a different approach. Rather than focusing on technical training, it invites participants to explore AI as a human-built system connected to creativity, exploration, interpretation, and decision making.

Early registration discount available through May 15, 2026—save $200.
