AI Fundamentals for UX gives you the essential tools to design responsible, human-centered AI experiences. You’ll learn how to navigate the unique challenges of AI-powered systems and apply UX principles that support trust, transparency, and ethical innovation. The course helps you differentiate AI-driven behaviors from traditional interactions and apply strategic frameworks to design more adaptive and intentional interfaces.
Spanning four levels, the course covers mental models for AI, ethical design, user control mechanisms, and governance strategies. You’ll work through real-world case studies, analyze design failures and successes, and develop hands-on skills for conversational, multimodal, and visual AI experiences. From crafting transparency policies to building effective safety nets, the course prepares you to design AI that works with users, not just for them.
