This course explores the ethical considerations and responsible use of generative AI tools in creative work. Students learn the SIFT (Specify, Identify, Focus, Trust) process for evaluating AI tools - a compact method that helps learners employ AI successfully and sustainably through realistic technology assessment and intentional decision-making. The curriculum addresses the practical application of the SIFT framework by using it to evaluate tools and creative work from previous coursework. The course thoroughly examines the reputational and legal risks associated with AI use in creative fields, including environmental costs, cultural bias, and data privacy concerns. Through readings and guest lectures by experts like Justin Joque, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the ethical dimensions of contemporary generative AI. As the second course in the "AI for Creative Work" specialization, it builds upon foundational knowledge while preparing students to make responsible choices when incorporating AI into their creative practice.
