The University of Birmingham, Dubai, is inviting applications for its BSc and MSc courses in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field that connects computing, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, mathematics and linguistics. Using state-of-the-art facilities in the new, technology enhanced'smart' campus, the degree programmes provide students with computing skills to enter industry, while also allowing them to acquire scientific skills in order to pursue research. The wide range of modules focus on areas of AI that interest students the most and will help kick-start a great career. Both the programmes by the university have been designed in such a way that people even from a variety of academic backgrounds can get upto speed with AI and computer science without any issues.

In a world seeking to balance privacy with insight, machine learning is all the rage, and it's easy to understand why. Google Analytics 4 uses machine learning to strike that balance and goes above and beyond to make the most out of its machine learning model. The benefits of machine learning are myriad, and GA4 takes full advantage. What is machine learning in Google Analytics 4? Machine learning combines artificial intelligence and computer science, and Google integrated it into the new GA4 platform. Using machine learning, GA4 fills in data gaps and provides sophisticated insights about user behavior, trends, and anomalies.

Hoy traemos a este espacio esta conferencia Neuroscience, AI and the Future of Education Scott Bolland TEDxSouthBank, que nos presentan así: Currently around 63% of students are disengaged at school, meaning that they withdrawal either physically or mentally before they have mastered the skills that are required to flourish in later life. In this talk Scott Bolland explores the science of learning, the mismatch between how we teach and how the brain natural learns, and the important role that artificial intelligence could take in addressing the limitations in our current education system. Dr Scott Bolland is the founder of New Dawn Technologies, a high-tech software company aiming to revolutionise education through the use of artificial intelligence. He has spent the last 20 years actively researching and teaching in the field of cognitive science – the scientific study of how the mind works – which spans disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, artificial intelligence and computer science. He holds a PhD in this field, as well as a university medal for outstanding academic scholarship.

Way back in the 1980s, a schoolteacher challenged me to write a computer program that played tic-tac-toe. But just a couple of weeks ago, I explained to one of my computer science graduate students how to solve tic-tac-toe using the so-called "Minimax algorithm," and it took us about an hour to write a program to do it. Certainly my coding skills have improved over the years, but computer science has come a long way too. What seemed impossible just a couple of decades ago is startlingly easy today. In 1997, people were stunned when a chess-playing IBM computer named Deep Blue beat international grandmaster Garry Kasparov in a six-game match. In 2015, Google revealed that its DeepMind system had mastered several 1980s-era video games, including teaching itself a crucial winning strategy in "Breakout."
