New schemes teach the masses to build AI
Demystifying the subject, to make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to build ai software, is the aim of Jeremy Howard, who founded fast.ai with Rachel Thomas, a mathematician. He says school mathematics is sufficient. “No. Greek. Letters,” Mr Howard intones, thumping the table for punctuation.
Fast.ai’s is not the only alternative ai programme. ai4all, another non-profit venture, works to bring ai education to schoolchildren in the United States that would otherwise not have access to it. Andrew Ng, another well-known figure in the field, has started his own online course, deeplearning.ai.
