AI in STEM: How Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing Science and Engineering
This Pod will have a break on Sunday October 8th, and will resume sessions on Sunday October 15th. The last session for this Pod will be on October 29th. There can be no doubt that Artificial Intelligence has greatly impacted technology and scientific innovation. In this Pod, we will take a look at how AI will transforms our world and brainstorm the ways in which it can be used across the science and engineering fields to solve some of the most challenging problems humans face today. After a review of the challenges, benefits and potential risks of AI, students will choose an area of opportunity and write a concise STEM-oriented paper and complete presentation about their ideas.
Week by week curriculum
Week 1
We will have an introduction to AI, different types of AI, the difference between AI and ML, and an overview of the Pod objectives
Week 2
Students will discuss any prior exposure to the concepts of AI, and some of the key challenges they think AI can address and what the risks are in each case.
Week 3
We will discuss some of the key challenges in using AI/ML, current technical limitations in using AI/ML. Students will discuss their progress on drafting their project paper/presentation
Week 4
We will discuss how to improve existing AI/ML models. Students will discuss their project and how their proposed problem can benefit from these improvements
Week 5
We will cover some dangers of AI, regulations, and how AI’s power should be carefully utilized. Students will discuss how their AI-related project could potentially have a negative side that should be controlled
Week 6
Students practice presentations on their topic of choice and get feedback by the mentor/class.
