We are jätte glad to welcome you to Artificial Intelligence and Creativity (FDT3300, 7.5 credits). During this course, you will engage with many timely topics about computational creativity, from the practical to the theoretical, and everything in-between. The course will run like a reading group, but there will be assignments complementing the concepts we cover. Assignments will be both theoretical (reading and discussing text), and practical (use and exploration of Creative-Ai). The course meets about once every 3-4 weeks, from October to May.
