AI programming is about creating computer programs that allow machines to do tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as learning, solving problems, and making decisions. This includes smart chatbots, image recognition software, and robots. The aim is to help computers understand data, recognize patterns, and get better over time, making them smarter and more capable of working on their own.
Skills Developed
AI programming helps develop strong problem-solving skills by teaching individuals how to break down complex tasks into manageable parts and create algorithms to solve them. It fosters critical thinking and creativity to design innovative solutions and think outside of the box when faced with challenges.
In this course students will be introduced to the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students will learn the basic concepts of AI and how to use it to efficiently answer questions about the world. More specifically, students will develop the fundamental computer science, mathematical reasoning, and user experience skills to eventually build AI software. This course is ideal for students who are interested in learning more about how AI can be better leveraged in careers, life and beyond.
Suggested Prerequisite or Corequisite: Statistics or AP Statistics
Prerequisite: One of the following: Computer Programming I, AP Computer Science Principles or equivalent
This course teaches students how to apply the skills learned in Artificial Intelligence I to build their own AIs. More specifically, this course introduces machine learning, deep learning, and statistical pattern recognition techniques that are used to build systems that can predict outcomes and generate new content. This course is ideal for students who are interested in pursuing careers in computer science or IT, and is especially great for students who dream of creating a computer that can learn.
