Human–Computer Interaction for AI Systems Design is an eight-week short online course aimed at professional students. It is part of an online course platform called Cambridge Advance Online, which is a joint effort between Cambridge University Press & Assessment and the University of Cambridge. This course launched in July 2023 amidst a massive increase in interest in AI and its applications, and quickly became one of the platform's highest-enrolling courses, attracting about 50 students per quarterly course run. To date, more than 200 students have completed the course, and more than 90 percent have rated their experience good' or excellent'.
