With the rapid rise and development of artificial intelligence technology, the College is now offering several new courses on AI across the School of Arts and Sciences and graduate schools, according to Dartmouth News. The courses, which span a variety of degree programs and fields, center around the application and use of AI in organizational decision-making, data analysis and engineering.<\/p>\n

Thayer School of Engineering and Tuck School of Business adjunct professor Laura Ridlehoover is currently teaching MGMT SP034: \u201cPrototyping with AI: From Idea to Demo in Days\u201d \u2014 a Tuck class geared towards Master\u2019s of Business Administration students aiming to enter the technology sector \u2014 this term for the first time. The class focuses on how AI can be used in the product development process.<\/p>\n

Ridlehoover said it is \u201creally important\u201d for students to understand how AI works because it\u2019s a \u201ctool that you’ll be expected to learn how to use.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully the students will become comfortable with some of these tools and \u2026 experiment with them further after the class,\u201d Ridlehoover said.<\/p>\n

Quantitative social science professor Herbert Chang \u201918 is currently teaching QSS 045: \u201cAI Machine Learning for Social Science,\u201d which introduces students to different data analysis techniques used to detect misinformation in AI-generated material. The class teaches students traditional coding before shifting to teaching students to train AI agents to code.<\/p>\n

Chang first taught the class in 2024 but \u201coverhauled\u201d the syllabus this year to include content on agentic coding, in which AI agents are programmed to complete complex tasks he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is imperative that these new ways of coding and doing data science are being taught to students,\u201d Chang said.<\/p>\n

While Chang said he thought the College is headed in a \u201cgood direction\u201d by \u201cgoing all into AI,\u201d he emphasized…<\/p>\n
