AI 665 — Applied Multi-Modal AI
This course introduces students to applied multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) systems that integrate text, images, audio, and video for real-world applications. Students learn how multi-modal AI models interpret and generate information across various formats, enabling the creation of innovative digital tools and experiences. Using no-code and low-code platforms, learners design, test, and deploy prototypes such as image captioning systems, video summarizers, and voice-enabled agents. Emphasis is placed on practical workforce applications, responsible and ethical design, and human-centered innovation. The course culminates in a portfolio-ready project that demonstrates foundational proficiency in multi-modal AI integration and applied problem-solving.
