Elements of AI Online Study Group
Timeline: 5/13-7/15 Every Wednesday 12:15-13:30pm Taipei Time; (Tuesday 9:15-10:30pm San Francisco Time)
The Elements of AI is a series of free online courses created by Reaktor and the University of Helsinki. The purpose of this course is to encourage as broad a group of people as possible to learn what AI is, what can (and can’t) be done with AI, and how to start creating AI methods. The courses combine theory with practical exercises and can be completed at your own pace. https://www.elementsofai.com/
At Taipei Women in Tech, we’d like to stay connected with all the members/new friends globally. Meeting online not only gives us learning opportunities but also networking time to share what happened in different cities, our neighborhood, jobs and family. At each session, we invited a few volunteers to guide us through these chapters for an introduction of each course. We then spend the lunch hour to take a few exercise and share our learnings and lives under the pandemic period with global members.
