Y3: Creative AI (Art, Music & Stories, Responsibly)

by bam

Generative AI can help you draw, compose, and write, but the interesting questions aren't technical, they're about credit, honesty, and respect. This course is for teens who want to actually *make* things with AI tools and do it right. You'll learn, in plain words, how AI generates images, music, and text by learning patterns from huge piles of human-made work; how to prompt and direct it like a creative collaborator instead of a vending machine; and how to keep your own voice instead of handing it over. Then we go straight at the hard stuff: whose art trained the model and why that matters, copyright and what AI-made work can (and can't) own, how to give credit and be honest you used AI, deepfakes and consent, and bias in what AI generates. You'll finish by making something genuinely original *with* AI, and labeling it honestly. Every key idea is tied to a real source you can open and check.
