This course offers an intensive exploration of AI and Machine Learning (ML), focusing on their transformative roles across
various domains. Building on an introduction to AI and ML principles, the course delves into advanced applications, particularly
in computer vision, showcasing how these technologies are revolutionizing fields such as healthcare, autonomous vehicles,
and security systems. The rest of the curriculum is dedicated to addressing the critical safety and ethical challenges posed
by AI deployment. Through discussions and case studies students will examine the potential risks, biases, and ethical dilemmas
inherent in AI systems, learning strategies to mitigate these issues and ensure the responsible use of AI technology.
In this course, students are divided into groups to:
(1) As home work: Read the papers, make presentations
(2) at the class: present and discuss
In this course, students are divided into groups to:
(1) As home work: Read the papers, make presentations
(2) at the class: present and discuss
The purpose of class is to provide students with a well-rounded understanding of both the opportunities and challenges presented
by AI technologies. Additionally, this class aim to equip students paper-reading skills, presentation skills, etc.
- The students can understand the basics of AI and Machine Learning
- The students can understand the wide range applications of AI in Computer Vision applications
- The students can build up critical thinking about the ethical considerations and safety issues surrounding the deployment of artificial intelligence systems

total score is needed for getting the course credit.
<Note>
Students are marked absent from the class if they are late regardless of the delay time.
If students are absent from more than one third of the total number of classes, the credit of this course cannot be given to them.
Even though students are absent from the class whatever the reason, e.g. sickness, delay of public transportation systems, forgetting to bring the student ID card, it is counted as absence.
