Critical AI Literacy: When to Use AI and When to Leave It Alone
Sam Illingworth is a thought leader in what can officially be considered the Slow AI Movement, which should be how we all approach AI. This material is so important and helps you look beyond the smokescreen of media and tech company hype to understand how "AI" works in every way. Whether you're an enthusiast or skeptic, or something in between, Going Slow means your use is more intentional and/or you know when and why to "leave it the h**l alone". This course was just great, I will sign up for anything Dr. Illingworth offers.

Critical AI Literacy: When to Use AI and When to Leave It Alone
This four week course was a wonderful time to focus on the fundamentals of critical AI literacy and to examine my own presuppositions about these tools. The readings were thought-provoking and followed by a brief exercise to help convert this into practice and consolidate my learning. Sam is an earnest instructor who freely and vulnerably shares his own learning to build community and facilitate conversation. This course and the community I have formed will continue to impact my own work into the future - it's been a privilege to be a part of it.
