Module 1 - Ethics of AI

Will it spread or help tackle the rise of fake news and misinformation? Put your scholar’s hat on to debate the hottest topics of the century.

Module 3 - AI and Machine Learning

Then, you’ll turn to the probabilistic basis of machine learning and neural networks, demystifying this arcane-sounding technique and its many variations.
Module 4 - Artificial Intelligence and Playing Games
In the 1990’s IBM’s computer successfully defeated chess grandmaster Gary Kasperov, a feat which shocked the world. IBM’s machine, deep blue employed artificial intelligence to defeat Kasperov. But what is artificial intelligence? What does it mean to be rational? And how does this tie in with playing games? Further, why do we need artificial intelligence, and what does it provide us with? A commonly misunderstood question. In this topic, you will consider algorithms such as MiniMax, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, and monte carlo methods, and how they can be used for optimisation problems.
