Intro to Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the development of computer programs that display human-like intelligence and perform human tasks (ie. tasks that require some form of learning and problem-solving, such as visual/speech recognition).

AI is revolutionizing the world as we know it, being ingeniously applied in almost every field and industry (from automotives to E-commerce to healthcare), which is why we at C.O.D.E. believe STEM and AI education for kids is so important.

By educating youth about AI and the ethics surrounding it, we hope to diversify who builds AI systems and empower kids to promote the positive use of AI to solve real-world problems.
