Course Title
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
Course Summary
This course provides trainees with a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and how these technologies are transforming modern society. It introduces key concepts such as intelligent systems, data-driven decision-making, and automated learning. Learners explore how machines learn from data, recognize patterns, and make predictions. Through interactive activities and real-world examples, the course builds practical awareness of AI applications, ethical considerations, and future career opportunities in AI-related fields.

By the end of the course, Trainees will be able to:
-
Define Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and explain their key concepts.
-
Distinguish between AI and Machine Learning and describe how they work together.
-
Identify different types of machine learning: supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning.
-
Explain basic machine learning algorithms and their uses.
-
Interpret simple data sets used in machine learning processes.
-
Apply AI and ML concepts to solve basic real-world problems.
-
Evaluate ethical, social, and security issues related to AI technologies.
-
Demonstrate beginner-level use of AI or ML tools in practical scenarios.
Sample Interactive Learning Activities
-
AI in Daily Life Brainstorming
Trainees identify and discuss examples of AI they interact with daily (e.g., voice assistants, recommendations, mobile apps). -
Machine Learning Sorting Activity
Trainees classify examples into supervised, unsupervised, or reinforcement learning using cards or digital tools. -
Data Pattern Discovery Exercise
Trainees work in small groups to analyze a simple dataset and identify patterns or trends. -
Algorithm Role-Play
Trainees simulate how a machine learning algorithm works by acting as “data,” “model,” and “decision-maker.” -
Case Study Discussion
Groups analyze a real-world AI application (e.g., AI in healthcare or agriculture) and present benefits and risks. -
Ethics Debate
Trainees debate ethical issues such as data privacy, bias, and job automation caused by AI. -
Mini Project
Trainees use a beginner-friendly AI tool to create a simple prediction or classification model.
