The course is a practical and theoretical introduction to the history of AI, machine learning and artificial neural networks that is accessible and recommended also to first-year students. The course will frame AI techniques in the larger history of media, art and culture, discussing their very recent impact on collective perception, product design and artistic creativity. No previous knowledge is required and all explanations will be done step by step.
