An Empirical Research of AI, Culture, and Arts Course

Enhancing Learners’s Career Development and Class Improvement

Abstract

This research explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the "AI, Culture, and Arts" course at ‘H‘ University case. It examines how AI can enhance students' creative and technical abilities across various artistic disciplines. Through 62 surveys and 7 in-indepth interviews with students and faculty, the research identifies the strengths and areas for improvement in the current curriculum. In particular, the development of storytelling through Chat GPT and visual communication practice based on Midjourney and Dall-E were found to have significantly improved AI literacy. We found that this not only fostered confidence and competency in utilizing generative AI services within major subjects, but also expanded perspectives on new career development. The findings highlight the need for more practical examples and clearer project guidelines, aiming to refine the course to better prepare students for future careers at the intersection of new tech and the arts.
