Critical AI Literacy

Introduction to the Critical AI Literacy Module

Welcome! This module is designed to help foster a critical and reflective mindset regarding novel AI technologies, with a specific focus on text-based generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT.

The module should take approximately 2 hours to complete, and aims to help you get a better understanding of the terminology, workings, limitations, (ethical) implications, and possible applications of novel AI technologies. It will not prescribe whether and how you should use these technologies, but should enable you to make informed decisions for yourself regarding your involvement with new AI technologies.
