Introducing students to Artificial Intelligence

Just what is A.I? What isn't A.I? Does artificial intelligence affect me? These are questions that students have now and will continue to have as A.I. becomes more and more integrated in our everyday lives. We speak with Adrian Tyson, a NSW teacher and co-founder of Neuranext Artificial Intelligence, an organisation that it is passionate about helping both teachers and students learn more about artificial intelligence through experiential learning.

Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education

About Adrian Tyson

Along with co-founder Dr. Andrew Kyngdon, Adrian has developed a course for all school students to introduce them to the science and technology of A.I through their organisation Neauranext Artifical Intelligence.  They have the first NESA approved course for teachers in A.I. and have created a series of experiential activities where students create data and apply A.I. to it, and in doing so learn the key concepts and applications of A.I. Culminating in the training and deployment of Autonomous Robotic Cars, the program seeks to spark interest in arguably the most transformative technology of a generation.
