What it covers
In this unit, you will learn how AI research is shaped, communicated, and practiced. You will investigate who and why governments, militaries, corporations, and public-interest bodies fund AI research and how their agendas may influence priorities. You will explore the implications of this for society and the environment. You will cover major AI sub-fields, including language, vision, speech, time-series, and robotics, and investigate how people interact with these systems. You will also practise locating, assessing, and synthesising research using scholarly databases and AI-enabled tools with transparent, reproducible methods and responsible judgement.
