Dr. Dash will be teaching a new topics course this summer titled NRSC 4390: Introduction to AI.

This course provides an engaging introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) for students from all disciplines. The course focuses on how AI models learn, make decisions, and interact with their environment, using intuitive examples drawn from everyday technology, neuroscience, medicine, and data science. Emphasis is placed on understanding ideas and basic technical concepts, allowing students to participate fully. Through lectures, discussions, tutorials, and hands-on activities, students will learn basic programming skills to build simple AI models, explore how principles of human learning and brain function have influenced modern AI, understand the depth of what current AI systems can do well, where they fail, and actualize why these distinctions matter.
