The program emphasizes responsible AI innovation, challenging students to critically evaluate AI systems and design solutions with ethical considerations at the forefront.
This two-week, full-day academy at UCLA allows high school students to explore artificial intelligence through hands-on activities and critical discussions. Students will test AI tools, analyze their functionalities and limitations, and reflect on the ethical implications of responsible innovation. The curriculum covers key areas such as machine learning, computer vision, generative AI, prompt design, and media verification. Practical exercises include human-versus-machine pattern simulations and building no-code image models using tools like Teachable Machine. Students will also engage in case debates and bias audits to address concerns around fairness, privacy, transparency, accessibility, and potential misuse of AI. The program culminates in the development and pitch of an original "AI for Good" concept, where students define a real-world problem, design an AI system to address it, and create a visual prototype, followed by an ethics review to strengthen safeguards. The program aims to equip students with stronger evaluation and design skills, and a clearer understanding of future studies or careers in AI.
Students attend full-day sessions, engaging in lectures, hands-on activities, discussions, and workshops, with opportunities for individual work and feedback sessions.
This program is ideal for high school students (grades 9-12) interested in understanding AI beyond headlines, who are ready to test tools, question results, discuss ethical tradeoffs, and explain AI concepts to a non-technical audience.
