Summary: This course is the 400-level version of the course, "HCSC 480: Sp Tp: Creating Art through AI and Advanced Manufacturing." The course is in collaboration with the Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility (AMPF) at Georgia Tech, and it will provide an introduction to the practices of manufacturing machines and the materials used in these machines. This course will demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) is applied in the manufacturing process. In this course, students will learn about computer-aided design (CAD), how Python is used in manufacturing, how machines are operated, and how these practices are used in both the functionality and aesthetic design of products. Students will design their own products — with how to program, model, analyze, and create the products, and their parts will be manufactured using machines in the AMPF at Georgia Tech.

Summary: The Survey of Conversational AI course is designed to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, human communication, and social good. In an increasingly digitized world, the ability to create AI-driven systems that can engage in natural, meaningful conversations is becoming paramount. Furthermore, their ability to have society impact for good should be at the forefront of conversation in AI education.  This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts, technologies, and practical applications of Conversation AI for Good. Students will delve into the realms of natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning, gaining hands-on experience in building chatbots, virtual assistants, and dialogue systems. We will also discuss ethical considerations and challenges related to conversational AI, such as bias and privacy. By the end of this course, students will be well-equipped to design and prototype intelligent conversational agents, making them invaluable assets in various fields, including healthcare, social justice, and beyond.
