Introduction
What AI is
AI stands for artificial intelligence, which is the competency of a computer or a robot to perform not strictly pre-programmed tasks. Normally animals perform such tasks. They include (a) obtaining data through listening, reading, and graphic recognition, (b) processing data through its analysis and synthesis, and (c) representing the processed results through documents, speech, or behavior such as driving.
Performing of "not strictly pre-programmed tasks" requires at least one specific capacity known as learning. Learning is a process of autonomous acquiring new or modifying existing data. Learning is a feature of humans and other animals. Some debate whether plants are able to learn.
AI is built on machine learning, in which a computer or robot acquire new data autonomously, meaning without a programmer or another system's command.
Narrow vs general
AI can be divided into two types: narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks, and general AI, which can learn and perform any task that humans can. AI is a rapidly evolving field that has many applications and challenges in the modern world.
AI Concepts
Introduce some key AI concepts, such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, etc. Explain how they work and what they can do.
AI Implementations
Show some demonstrations of AI implementations, such as generative AI, chatbots, image recognition, speech synthesis, etc. Explain how they are built and what challenges they face.
AI Ethics
Discuss some ethical issues related to AI, such as bias, privacy, accountability, transparency, etc. Explain why they matter and how they can be addressed.
Conclusion
Summarize the main points of the training, highlight the benefits and limitations of AI, and encourage the participants to explore more AI resources and opportunities.
