Are Robots Going to Replace Teachers?

#artificialintelligence

As computers get faster and smarter, it stands to reason that robots and artificial intelligence will replace any job that they are able to do more cost effectively. If a robot can do it just as well for cheaper, it will. What does this mean for teaching? They claim that artificial intelligence will have the ability to teach children more effectively than humans within ten years. I believe this conclusion is based on false assumptions about the purpose of education and what teachers do.


Bayesian Machine Learning in Python: A/B Testing

@machinelearnbot

This course is all about A/B testing. A/B testing is used everywhere. A/B testing is all about comparing things. If you're a data scientist, and you want to tell the rest of the company, "logo A is better than logo B", well you can't just say that without proving it using numbers and statistics. Traditional A/B testing has been around for a long time, and it's full of approximations and confusing definitions. In this course, while we will do traditional A/B testing in order to appreciate its complexity, what we will eventually get to is the Bayesian machine learning way of doing things.


Practical Neural Networks & Deep Learning in R Udemy

@machinelearnbot

With so many R based Data Science & Machine Learning courses around, why this course? This means, this course covers MAIN ASPECTS of neural networks and deep learning. If you take this course, you can do away with taking other courses or buying books on R based data science. In this age of big data, companies across the globe use R to sift through the avalanche of information at their disposal. By becoming proficient in neural networks and deep learning in R, you can give your company a competitive edge โ€“and boost your career to the next level.


Huge changes are needed to equip our children for AI

#artificialintelligence

The evolution of artificial intelligence has sparked debate on every aspect of humanity's future. Today, for instance, the Prime Minister is arguing in a speech that we should use genetic information to create programmes that can diagnose illnesses early on. But so far there are very few practical solutions on how to prepare our children for life in an era of advanced robotics. So will the classroom of the future have a machine teaching children their times tables, instructing them in foreign languages? I was recently a consultant on a new Automation Readiness Index with the Economist Intelligence Unit, which found that there is much still to do in the UK -- and globally, too.


Data Science, Deep Learning, & Machine Learning with Python

@machinelearnbot

Data Scientists enjoy one of the top-paying jobs, with an average salary of $120,000 according to Glassdoor and Indeed. If you've got some programming or scripting experience, this course will teach you the techniques used by real data scientists and machine learning practitioners in the tech industry - and prepare you for a move into this hot career path. This comprehensive course includes over 80 lectures spanning 12 hours of video, and most topics include hands-on Python code examples you can use for reference and for practice. I'll draw on my 9 years of experience at Amazon and IMDb to guide you through what matters, and what doesn't. Each concept is introduced in plain English, avoiding confusing mathematical notation and jargon.


AI 101, Because We Can't Escape the Inevitable (It's Free Too) - Scribble & Scroll

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence plays a role in nearly everyone's life now, so it only seems fair that everyone should also have the opportunity to learn exactly what it is and how it functions. At least, that's what Helsinki University in Finland thinks. The school is offering the world's first online artificial intelligence course geared towards beginners, as Engadget reports. Not only can anyone with web access enroll, but it's also free. Because the course only takes about 30 hours to complete, it's possible it might help people get to know--and form opinions on--artificial intelligence.

New NRA president Oliver North decries 'culture of violence' but worked on 'Call of Duty'

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

The NRA's news president is current Fox News Contributor Oliver North, but he is widely known for a Reagan-era scandal. Former U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North speaks before giving the Invocation at the National Rifle Association-Institute for Legislative Action Leadership Forum in Dallas, May 4, 2018. Incoming National Rifle Association president Oliver North has already grabbed national attention for his take on the root causes of America's mass shooting problem after a Texas high school student killed 10 people in a bloody rampage. The retired Marine lieutenant colonel blamed a "culture of violence" for recent school shootings and implied that the prevalence of prescriptions such as Ritalin for young people could also be a factor during an appearance on Fox News Sunday. But in 2012, North worked as a promoter, script consultant and voice actor for the popular first-person-shooter game Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
