INNOVATE 1Z03

Algorithms are driving cars, writing magazine articles, and beating us at Jeopardy!, chess, and Go. Is this normal technological growth, or something to be feared? Innovate 1Z03 is a comprehensive survey of AI in 2020, designed for students in all years and faculties. We will cover Canada’s AI policy, how to start an AI startup, the cognitive science behind artificial brains, the history of computing, the ethics of AI, and how machine learning is used in healthcare, the law, and to fight climate change.
