The AI and Language Technology degree integrates the study of the societal impacts of Artificial Intelligence technologies with technical knowledge in the area of human language technologies. This program is designed to provide the breadth and depth competencies needed for its graduates to use rapidly evolving AI technologies to analyze and produce language in ways that improve the social good. This degree program leverages the expertise of faculty in the Departments of Linguistics and Computer Science & Engineering along with those in the AI & Society department.
What will I learn?
You’ll start by studying the relationship between AI and society, as well as the basics of AI technologies, which will enable you to build AI tools designed by society, for society. After these classes-as well as some technical courses in calculus and computer science-you’ll explore how language works, how languages differ from each other, how computers process and generate language, and how AI systems can be designed to support language users of all kinds. The program culminates with a capstone course involving a real-world challenge where you can apply the skills that you have learned as part of a team of students.
