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

Offered by 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.
