Welcome to AI Fluency for students

This video introduces the concept of AI Fluency—using AI effectively, efficiently, ethically, and safely, as well as what you'll learn in our AI Fluency for Students course. Rather than focusing on temporary tips or specific tools, the course explores enduring principles that help you make thoughtful decisions about when and how to use AI. The video outlines the course structure: starting with the 4D Framework, then exploring AI as a learning partner and career planning tool, and finally discussing what it means to be "the human in the loop." The goal is to transform AI from a tool that does work for you into a partner that helps you do your work better.

AI Fluency goes beyond prompts and tools to focus on enduring principles
The course covers the 4D Framework, learning applications, and career planning
