ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Wake Forest Computer Science professor, William Cochran, who also holds an affiliation with the Program for Leadership and Character, developed a popular first year seminar called AI and Humanity: Foundations for Our Future. In Part 1 of this multi-part episode, William talks to Michael and Ryan about the impetus for creating the course, the mechanics of running it, how he assesses the students, the relevant course materials, and how it has evolved each semester that he’s taught it. After listening to the professor, stay tuned all week for the subsequent episode segments as we get the opportunity to hear the actual student assignments.
