Artificial Intelligence Learning Module

In this module, you will learn about the basics of artificial intelligence (AI) . AI and machine learning are changing the way we live and how we work. Within this short course, you will recognize the user needs and find the intersection between user needs and AI strengths, collect and evaluate the required data.
The piloting of the modules for AI and CS have been prepared as a project week where learners are going to work in smaller groups. On the first day, experts from companies will present and explain the areas of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The learners will then be grouped and learn about the challenges they are going to work on during the week. The second and fourth days are dedicated to solving challenges, finding a solution and preparing a presentation of the activities carried out. On day three, a virtual tour of the company Kolektor Digital is planned. The last day is reserved for finalizing the presentations and presenting the learner’s ideas/solutions to company experts and teachers. The learners will be awarded micro-credentials for gained skills.
Describes the fields where AI is used (computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, social network filtering, games, mobile advertising,…), finds the examples where AI is probably better and where a rule or heuristic-based solution will work, defines user needs, possible solutions and assess whether AI can uniquely solve the problem.
  • identifies which users problems is AI positioned to solve;
  • asses automation vs. augmentation;
  • queries data from multiple sources like relational databases, IoT devices, social networks, data warehouses
Recognizes user needs and find the intersection between user needs and AI strengths, collection and evaluation of the required data.
