About the AI Foundations Site

Welcome to a unique educational journey designed to build your AI literacy and competency! Each day brings carefully crafted challenges and activities that help you explore, understand, and effectively use AI tools in both professional and personal contexts.

This application was built in collaboration by myself, Kyle Fidalgo, Academic Technologist for Boston College Law School, and a host of artificial intelligence tools. It was also inspired by partnerships with my friends and colleagues at CDIL.

While originally designed for the Law School community, it has evolved into a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in developing their AI literacy skills.

What Makes This Different?

Our approach focuses on practical literacy and competency rather than just tool usage. Each activity is designed with clear learning objectives, example prompts, and tips for success. You'll develop critical thinking skills about AI while learning to use these tools effectively and responsibly.

Personalized Learning

Throughout this guide, you'll have access to a variety of custom assistants that will help you along the way. Each activity will have a copy dropdown that will allow you to copy a specialized prompt to your clipboard. You can then paste that prompt into your assistant of choice to get personalized and tailored help, feedback, and more.
