Acadia University has opened its AI literacy course to the public at no cost, following the success of the course among its student population. Offered in a self-paced format, the course discusses ethical concerns surrounding AI and the basic ideas underlying large language models. “It was really coming from a place of we have something to really give that could really help people in particular in our region, and that we’re engaging with as an institution and we want to be able to provide that,” said Acadia Vice-Provost, Curriculum and Planning, Lauren Wilson Finniss. Finniss added that the university plans to continuously update the module to ensure its relevance to current AI tools.
