AI Adoption Clinic: Values-Centered AI for Community Organizations
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
Credit only granted for: INST423 or INST623.
Local governments and small organizations are increasingly adopting AI tools--but often without the expertise or resources to evaluate them. This course bridges that gap by giving students hands-on experience supporting real clients through The AI Clinic. Working in teams, students will analyze community "AI cases," assess potential tools, and identify benefits, risks, and ethical implications. Through these projects, students gain practical experience in responsible AI evaluation, procurement, and design for the public good.
