Introduction to Artificial Intelligence introduces students to the fundamental concepts, development, applications, and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence, with particular emphasis on economics, management, and commercial sciences.

Throughout the course, students will explore how AI systems work, how Artificial Intelligence relates to Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and how modern generative AI and large language models can be used effectively. Students will gain practical experience in prompt engineering, text and multimedia generation, verification of AI-generated content, and the application of AI to economic and business tasks.

The course places particular emphasis on critical thinking and responsible AI use. Students will learn to evaluate AI outputs rather than simply accept them, identify errors and bias, consider privacy and security risks, and understand the importance of human oversight in AI-assisted decisions.

The course combines weekly online lectures with hands-on TD sessions in the computer lab, where students work in teams on practical activities, audits, case studies, and an applied AI project.

No programming or advanced mathematics is required. The objective is not simply to learn how to use AI tools, but to develop the knowledge and judgement needed to use them effectively, critically, ethically, and responsibly.
