This course is a general introduction to artificial intelligence, designed for the students on the teacher tracks in sciences. We focus on clarifying what artificial intelligence is, on what can be done with artificial intelligence, and on various societal concerns around the wide adoption of artificial intelligence. The course aims to provide an exploration of the nature of the problems addressed in artificial intelligence and of the computational strategies behind the most popular approaches in this field. The topics we cover will include design and analysis of machine learning experiments, training a model and using it for predictions. We will discuss regression, classification and deep learning. Short assignments include hands-on experiments with various learning algorithms. We will also have an active discussion on ethical aspects of AI and on ideas of how short lectures on AI could be offered in school classrooms.
