COLB11-103: Leading with AI

Leading with AI equips students with the understanding, and critical capacities necessary to lead with confidence in a world shaped by AI. Students will explore foundation models, bots, and agents, and develop advanced prompt engineering skills through hands-on projects and creative exploration. More than just a technical overview, the subject empowers students to build their own AI toolkits and reflect on how AI can augment their personal agency, creativity, and decision-making. Through simulated scenarios, students will manage a “personal AI workforce,” applying AI tools to practical tasks such as communication, research, time management, and content creation. They will examine the social, ethical, and political implications of AI disruption across domains including business, education, healthcare, and media. Emphasis is placed on the role of human judgment, the limits of automation, and how AI reshapes identity, relationships, and responsibility. Future-focused assessments challenge students to critically evaluate AI developments, design ethical implementation strategies, and envision how intelligent systems could transform their chosen field. By the end of the subject, students will be equipped with practical skills, critical insight, and digital agency to not only keep pace with AI, but to lead its responsible and innovative use across industries, communities, and all areas of life and work.
