Topics
L1: AI Foundations: Emerging Across Boundaries
This session provides an overview of artificial intelligence, from its core concepts to its real-world implications. Students will explore:
-
Core Concepts: Distinguish the core relationships and hierarchies between Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL).
-
Machine Learning in Action: Discover classification through an interactive activity and see how it leads to Computer Vision and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).
-
The Language of AI: Demystify how Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) architecture work. Compare deployment methods (downloadable vs. API-based) and solidify understanding through a collaborative "Human LLM" game.
-
AI with a Body: Understand how Physical AI uses computer vision, simulation, and reinforcement learning to see, think, and act in the world.
-
Critical Perspective: Contrast traditional programming with AI and initiate a crucial discussion on the ethical and philosophical implications of AI.
