Humanizing AI: Navigating the Psychology and Social Risks is a practical, research-informed course that helps you separate fact from fiction in today’s AI-saturated world. Instead of treating AI as a mysterious mind, you’ll learn how and why people project human qualities onto software—and how that shapes decisions at work, in media, and in society. From the Turing Test and the ELIZA effect to today’s claims of “sparks” of general intelligence, you’ll uncover the psychological triggers and cultural incentives that fuel hype. You’ll also examine real social and ethical risks—bias, misinformation, parasocial dynamics with chatbots—while building a grounded understanding of what AI is technically good at (and where it fails). Designed for professionals, educators, and curious learners, the course blends short, engaging lessons with interactive activities and knowledge checks. By the end, you’ll be able to read AI headlines critically, adopt human-in-the-loop practices, and communicate clearly about AI’s capabilities and limits. If you want to leverage AI without losing what makes us distinctly human—judgment, empathy, and ethics—this course gives you the language, frameworks, and confidence to do it.

            <p>The rapid integration of artificial intelligence into professional and personal spheres has fundamentally altered the landscape of human-computer interaction. This course explores the psychological phenomenon of anthropomorphism—the innate human tendency to attribute consciousness, intent, and empathy to algorithmic systems. By examining historical milestones such as the Turing Test and the "ELIZA effect," participants will gain a critical understanding of how linguistic pattern matching often triggers complex emotional responses. For leaders, educators, and creative practitioners, distinguishing between functional utility and deceptive personification is essential for navigating the evolving digital environment with clarity and precision.</p>

<p>Beyond the psychological mechanisms of interaction, this curriculum addresses the systemic hype and social risks that characterize the current AI era. We will analyze the cultural and economic incentives that perpetuate myths about machine intelligence, from the "black box" nature of proprietary models to the sensationalism of modern media. Through a rigorous examination of technical realities versus human traits, the course provides a framework for debunking common rumors regarding job replacement, machine creativity, and existential threats. Ultimately, the objective is to empower professionals and individuals to leverage AI as a sophisticated tool while safeguarding the uniquely human qualities of judgment, ethics, and genuine connection.</p>
