While many of us may think AI and machine learning mean more robots and self-driving cars, at a fundamental level, they are about data – and ways to make meaning of data.
This year, in partnership with Accenture, Ladies Learning Code has set out to teach learners 21st century digital skills and more specifically how to make meaning of data. In hands-on, beginner friendly Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning workshops. Happening on September 23rd across Canada, participants will learn how to put data to use for us in our everyday lives.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are all around us – from Siri on your iPhone to Google Map suggestions, to recommendations for purchases during your Amazon check-out.
