This course introduces students to the core concepts and practical realities of AI within these fields. Through a blend of theory, case studies, and expert seminars, students will examine how AI models (from Large Language Models to computer vision) function. Students will critically evaluate real-world applications, such as precision farming, environmental impact modeling, and veterinary diagnostics. The course will challenge the students to consider both the benefits and drawbacks of this rapidly expanding set of technological tools. By the end of the course, students will possess the foundational literacy to navigate the AI landscape and make informed decisions about integrating these tools into their education and future careers.

Designed for students whose academic majors would be enhanced by the complementary study of a widely shared but hard-to-operationalize aspiration: that present choices should preserve or improve future options rather than foreclose or degrade them. How should we understand sustainability? How might we achieve it? How would we know if we had achieved it? And how could sustainability activists of a rising generation lead by example?
