As we enter the Prototype Development phase of our curriculum, we would like to reflect on the progress in Machine Learning achieved by our students over the last four weeks and acknowledge those who supported their journey.<\/p>\n
While math and coding are critical to AI education, we also need context to drive impact. The AI4Good Lab had the privilege of inviting eleven leaders to take part in our Speaker Series. They shared cutting-edge research, raised questions about ethical AI, showed how AI is being used today, and how we are preparing to use it for tomorrow.<\/p>\n
These talks drew the trainees into the real-life applications of AI, and helped spark their imaginations towards development of their AI prototypes for social good. Now that the trainees are actively developing their projects, we are excited to see the culmination of their work as inspired by our speakers in our final Demo Day on July 28th.<\/p>\n
We give a heartfelt thanks to all of our speakers from our three series who are helping inspire the next generation of AI leadership.<\/p>\n
