If you’d like to master a language, learn about different cultures, and explore how AI can improve the ways we communicate, you’ve found the perfect fit. Whether you want to remove cultural bias from AI, develop sign language recognition software, optimize patient outcomes for healthcare and wellness, develop business strategies for new markets, improve translation apps, or find other ways to help people around the globe, this unique major will let you combine your interests-and put your talent to good use.
What will I learn?
Throughout this program, you’ll study the relationship between AI and society and the basics of AI technologies, so you can understand how AI tools can be built by society, for society. Your courses will also help you learn how language works and how language data can be analyzed. You’ll specialize in a language-you can choose from American Sign Language, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, or Spanish-as you take advanced, immersive language classes and study their related cultures. Finally, you’ll have a capstone course where you can bring together everything you’ve learned to look for solutions to real-world problems.
