INT 86BC: AI IN ECONOMICS

University of California, Santa Barbara

This course is designed for incoming first-year students. We explore using artificial intelligence to better understand the economy as well as the use of AI in learning economics. Students are asked to explore topics and find and analyze data using AI and to share their experiences during class. Stu dents do small projects each week. Class time is typically split between br ief introductions to topics in economics and of effective AI use, and discu ssions of how students found AI helpful—or not. No AI or economics experien ce needed!
