AI versus Great Battles
In this course, students will use some of history’s most important battles to learn about and gain hands-on experience with a revolutionary new technology: generative AI. Students will study the battles through video lectures and readings. They will then use the latest versions of Chat GPT and other AI programs to examine these battles in greater depth. In doing so, they will assess the possibilities and limits of AI as a research tool, a writing machine, an editorial assistant, a maker of art, and an engine of misinformation.
