CoLab: AI BusinessOperations

Level: Undergraduate

We will begin with an overview of what is AI, traditional programming vs AI programming, how accurate is AI, AI vs ML vs NLP, what can AI do for business and government organizations with real-world examples of how it's already being used (in banking, transportation, and weather forecasting for example). Then we'll turn to the role of the cloud and what vendors like AWS do. Thereafter, we'll cover bots, what they can do, how they know what we're asking them to do, anatomy of a typical lexical bot, and the bare minimum of python code you'd need to know to be able to build your own simple bot using tools like Amazon Lex Bot.
