Course Description

The rise of artificial intelligence is transforming how we write, edit, and communicate, in every field of human activity. This course explores the ways AI is reshaping writing practices, from creative storytelling and journalism to technical writing and scholarship.

Students will engage with AI-powered writing tools to understand their capabilities and limitations, examining how they can enhance creativity, streamline workflows, and support research. Discussions will address ethical concerns, such as plagiarism, bias, and misinformation, while hands-on exercises will help students develop strategies for using AI effectively without losing the human, critical element of writing.
