Introduction
To bring AI to the broader technical and non-technical audience, we are organising a summer school under the title of the IEEE Canberra Artificial Intelligence Summer School -- and we are cordially inviting you to participate! We have secured high-calibre Australian and international AI experts, who will share their passion for both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and education.
It will take place as part of the Canberra Artificial Intelligence (CAI) Week, and it is a set of activities on Artificial Intelligence (AI) over more than a whole week from Saturday, November 28th, 2020 to Friday, December 4th, 2020. CAI is based on the principle of "AI4All" or "Artificial Intelligence is For Everyone". CAI has activities for the old and young, experts and non-experts, and technical and non-technical audience. CAI encompasses events like IEEE SSCI 2020, AI 2020, an AI Industry Exhibition, and much more - http://canberraai.net/.
Structure of this online summer school
- Duration: four days in total, up to three sessions per day, each session going for 100-180 minutes.
- Interactions: small breakout groups of <10 attendees, supported by all presenters, their teams, and the CAISS team.
- Location: online, and groups of attendees can meet up "in real life" for sessions (not mandatory).
As interaction is vital, we will "engineer" the audience to maximise the diversity: each group will be composed of students, academics, industry, and members of the general public -- as well as facilitators.
Are you ready to be wowed by AI?
