​As Artificial Intelligence (AI) rapidly integrates into our creative and professional lives, this course offers a timely and human-centric exploration of its potential as a powerful tool for personal insight and self-expression. Designed for individuals with no prior experience in art or technology, the programme demystifies AI, reframing it not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a new medium — a “digital mirror” capable of translating our complex inner worlds of thoughts and feelings into compelling visual imagery. We will move beyond the hype and fear to engage with technology in a way that honours and amplifies our own unique human experience.

Through a blend of critical discussion, ethical consideration, and hands-on practices, students will learn the art of introspective prompting, generate their own symbolic artwork, and develop skills in interpreting this imagery for personal reflection. The course maintains a strong focus on the user's agency and the irreplaceable value of human consciousness, positioning AI as a collaborative partner in the deeply personal journey of introspection. Students will leave with not only the practical skills to use these emerging tools but also a nuanced framework for engaging with technology responsibly, creatively, and with newfound confidence.
