Yachao Coffey-Li
Class Notes: Artificial intelligence is transforming how we understand, promote, and deliver health. This upper-division seminar moves beyond basic AI literacy to build applied professional competency at the intersection of health communication and emerging technology. Students first ground themselves in core health behavior theories and the technical workings of large language models. They then partner with community members to use generative AI tools in real campaign work. Finally, students turn a critical lens on AI itself, auditing tools for algorithmic bias, medical misinformation, and ethical failures in a capstone risk-assessment project. Students leave the course prepared to use AI ethically and strategically in health-related careers.
