AI and Content Creation Minor
What is the AI and Content Creation Minor?
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Content Creation minor consists of six courses (18 credit hours) and is available to all students in any major program in any faculty at Ontario Tech University. The AI and Content Creation minor will be valuable for students to learn how AI is now impacting content creation in professional contexts, including private and public sectors. Communication professionals have shifted to adapt to AI as a foundational digital technology at work. Increasingly, industries require AI content creation skills. However, content creation requires analysis of contexts, media, social values, and audiences to ensure ethical foundations and ‘human-in-the loop’ practices. Unique to this minor, students will have the opportunity to draw on elective courses and instructor expertise on participation with community members and rights holders to help sustainable, value-based, ethical growth in content creation fields. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor courses is required to successfully complete the AI and Content Creation minor.
