Course description
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has many definitions according to researchers, but it can be said as a study for analyzing human intelligence and implementing it on computers.
Since all topics related to A.I. cannot be expressed because A.I. has close relations with various fields and consists of a wide variety of contents, several basic technologies and algorithms will be treated through pre-learning subjects, post-learning subjects, lectures, and discussions.
Purpose of class
In this class, students will learn about several basic technical fields and algorithms in A.I. and will think about basic questions such as what is human intelligence, how we confirm whether intelligence is realized on computers or not.
The aim of this class is to establish students' views of A.I. by learning and thinking about A.I. through pre-learning subjects, post-learning subjects, lectures, and discussions.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can understand the basics of technical knowledge on A.I. and can explain them to others.
  2. Students can express ones' opinion on the impacts of A.I. on our society.
  3. Students can acquire practical knowledge on a survey in various fields and can apply it to a surveys in the future.
