In this course, we will explore the foundations of Human-Centered AI, a subdomain of artificial intelligence research that asks the core question underlying our study: How do we design AI technology in ways to augment and enhance human capability, rather than replace it outright? We will begin by examining the history of research and technology around artificial intelligence, situating our current understanding of AI in a broader historical lens that will supply some of the motivations around why it matters to design AI with a human-centric orientation. From there, we will consider some of the key concepts, tenets, and challenges of Human-Centered AI.
Welcome! This module will build the foundations of our understanding of AI history, language, and current applications. We will also define many key terms that will recur throughout the lessons to help ground our discussions of AI concepts and tools.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
