Highlights
- Investigate for Bias in AI—Analyze AI software, such as facial recognition or voice automation, for compromised functionality due to bias in the underlying dataset.
- Identify and Combat Deep Fakes—A video surfaces of a foreign nation state leader pledging an immediate nuclear attack on US soil. Within minutes, it’s gone viral, and the US military mobilizes. Later, the video is debunked by leading AI scientists as a deep fake. Learn to ID and fight these deep fakes as they become increasingly sophisticated, prevalent, and dangerous.
- Apply a COVID-19 Vaccine Case Study to Future Challenges—Discover how some of the world’s best minds harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to develop a COVID-19 vaccine on an unprecedented timescale—and what some of those same scientists now say about future applications of the technology for other long-standing biomedical challenges.
- Run Your Own Machine Learning Project—Write machine learning code that produces insightful results from a large dataset. To ensure its reliability and security, get personalized feedback from expert partners in AI and machine learning industries.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are changing the course of human history. Such world-altering technological advances haven’t been seen since the industrial revolution. The impact is already felt in nearly every industry and aspect of life, from biotechnology and medicine to climate change and the future of democracy. The technology we create helps us unlock insights about everything from our own daily decisions and behaviors to large global systems. While some people may imagine dystopian scenarios like the ‘robots taking over,’ the reality is that we get to decide how to use this civilization-altering technology. The outcomes are being shaped by the ethical and technological decisions we make today.
In EXPLO Artificial Intelligence, address these important decisions through discussions, case studies, coding experiments, and creative projects. Connect with the data scientists, researchers, business leaders, AI activists, and artists who are navigating the impacts of AI as we speak. Add your voice to issues of bias, equity, privacy, security, and more as you design and implement your own machine learning process.
