Future Technologies Series: Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (CanopyLAB)

Possibly the most popular of all modern technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been the source of great hopes and great fears in recent years. Starting with the concept of AI and ML, you will move on to examine how these technologies have been applied in various fields and the societal impact that they can have.

Unit 1: What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Unit 2: Machines & Medicine - An Artificially Intelligent Diagnosis
Unit 3: Robots with Guns: AI & The Future of Warfare
Unit 4: How Ai Can Transform Education - The Case of Online Learning
Unit 5: Machine Ethics: Can We Trust Intelligent Machines?
Unit 6: Thinking Ahead
We zoom in on three industries that have already embraced AI as a part of their toolbox, namely the medical industry, the weapons industry and the educational industry. Each unit in this course will take you one step closer towards a better knowledge on what Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are, and how they are leading the way of many societal transformations. While we have spent centuries developing ethical codes for doctors, soldiers and teachers, the ethics and future of machine-led decision-making is still an open discussion, which we dive into in the last unit.

Machine Teaching for Autonomous AI (Coursera)

Just as teachers help students gain new skills, the same is true of artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning algorithms can adapt and change, much like the learning process itself. Using the machine teaching paradigm, a subject matter expert (SME) can teach AI to improve and optimize a variety of systems and processes. The result is an autonomous AI system.

Probabilistic Graphical Models 3: Learning (Coursera)

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate) distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more. They are the basis for the state-of-the-art methods in a wide variety of applications, such as medical diagnosis, image understanding, speech recognition, natural language processing, and many, many more. They are also a foundational tool in formulating many machine learning problems.
