Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life, to know how to identify digital traps, and to use Word, Excel, etc. without difficulty.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

Many students today use AI tools like ChatGPT, but often in an unsafe or improvised way. Legitimate questions arise: Is it allowed? How can mistakes be avoided? How can AI be used without losing control of one's own thinking?

This course isn't about shortcuts or "machine-done work." It focuses on understanding AI as a tool and learning to use it consciously and responsibly. We work with concrete examples from the university setting and show how AI can support learning without compromising academic integrity.

One of the course's central themes is AI as a research tool. We'll explore how to define topics, formulate effective research questions, and structure a project from the outset. AI can help gain an overview and organize ideas, but we'll also clearly analyze its limitations and the need for critical self-reflection.

From there, we move on to academic writing. From developing outlines and arguments to improving style and clarity, AI can be a valuable tool. We demonstrate how to work with drafts, detect inconsistencies, and avoid common errors that often cause problems in academia.

Another section is dedicated to learning with AI. Explaining complex texts, clarifying concepts, reviewing content, and checking one's own understanding are especially valuable uses if the right questions are asked. The goal is to use AI actively, not passively.

Finally, we use AI as an intellectual sparring partner. Not as a substitute for our own thinking, but as an interlocutor that helps to compare arguments, raise objections, and explore other perspectives. This is where AI's greatest real value often lies: thinking better, not thinking less.

The course is designed for students of any discipline. No prior knowledge is required. The goal is to gain confidence in using AI and learn how to integrate it productively and responsibly into university studies.

Many students today use AI tools like ChatGPT, but often in an unsafe or improvised way. Legitimate questions arise: Is it allowed? How can mistakes be avoided? How can AI be used without losing control of one's own thinking?

This course isn't about shortcuts or "machine-done work." It focuses on understanding AI as a tool and learning to use it consciously and responsibly. We work with concrete examples from the university setting and show how AI can support learning without compromising academic integrity.

One of the course's central themes is AI as a research tool. We'll explore how to define topics, formulate effective research questions, and structure a project from the outset. AI can help gain an overview and organize ideas, but we'll also clearly analyze its limitations and the need for critical self-reflection.

From there, we move on to academic writing. From developing outlines and arguments to improving style and clarity, AI can be a valuable tool. We demonstrate how to work with drafts, detect inconsistencies, and avoid common errors that often cause problems in academia.

Another section is dedicated to learning with AI. Explaining complex texts, clarifying concepts, reviewing content, and checking one's own understanding are especially valuable uses if the right questions are asked. The goal is to use AI actively, not passively.

Finally, we use AI as an intellectual sparring partner. Not as a substitute for our own thinking, but as an interlocutor that helps to compare arguments, raise objections, and explore other perspectives. This is where AI's greatest real value often lies: thinking better, not thinking less.

The course is designed for students of any discipline. No prior knowledge is required. The goal is to gain confidence in using AI and learn how to integrate it productively and responsibly into university studies.
