Reflections on the course 'AI for Everyone'

 Course: AI for Everyone


The course called "AI For Everyone," discussing the basic concepts of AI, its potential applications, and societal impact.

Week 1 focuses on AI concepts,
covering data interpretation, machine learning, corporate adoption of AI, limitations of AI, and examples of neural networks and deep learning.

Week 2 delves into AI projects,
exploring developments in data science, machine learning, and neural networks. It emphasizes the complexity in decision-making capabilities of neural networks and the limitations of AI. The course also discusses the challenges for companies interested in developing AI strategies, emphasizing the need for expert evaluation of AI potential in projects, starting from material collection to creating feasible prototypes and the support required for such ventures. Only then should the formation of an AI team be considered.

The translation of your text is as follows:

Week 3: AI and Industry
This week focuses on how industries can transform their knowledge into tasks manageable by AI for development. Examples of developed applications are provided, along with demonstrations of AI's limitations.

Week 4: AI and Society
People aware of technological advancements perceive AI as still immature. Despite excelling in specialized scenarios beyond human capabilities, AI's one-dimensional strength is limited in complex, multifaceted human life. Examples include AI navigation not always outperforming experienced taxi drivers, and AI customer service being inferior to human operators. A critical issue is humans unknowingly providing biased data to AI, only realizing it when AI makes biased decisions. Also, the unclear understanding of human learning processes makes it hard for AI to make comprehensive judgments on simple matters, like discerning emotions in customer service calls.
These insights reflect on the strong yet limited capabilities of AI in specific scenarios, highlighting the human aspiration to develop AI to support vulnerable aspects of our world.

AI is not new to me. Initially, I worked in the gaming industry, where I encountered AI as an opponent for players. After returning to school, I took courses like 'Natural Language,' studying how AI recognizes human language. There was also the popular Apple Siri. In various industries, basic professional AI tools have been developed. It was the emergence of ChatGPT, with its versatility, that transformed societal attitudes towards AI, fostering belief in its significant impact on human life. My interest in this field grew with the advent of generative AI."

Since I'm not very interested in specialized artificial intelligence, it might be like an encyclopedia, almost like a search engine. The versatility of generative AI has benefited me tremendously by providing me with more information outside of my own area of ​​expertise, and has made me even more interested in the development of this technology. After all, my major is information engineering, and my level of expertise is probably at the level of: if I have any questions, I have to study technical documents or check their open source code. This is not something ChatGPT generally covers. (In order to confirm the correctness of this sentence, I asked ChatGPT again. It does provide a universal solution, but my environment is quite special and the universal solution cannot be implemented. This tool belongs to the HPC range in unpopular information. ) 

My interest in generative AI is more about how to build it than how to apply it. It is necessary to understand each stage of its development process and conduct practical experiments in order to provide effective suggestions for artificial intelligence transformation or assist in implementation for different research groups in the future. In addition, I have long-term interests and observations in the shortcomings of technological development, the limitations and shortcomings of artificial intelligence, and the relationship between technology and society. This course is a useful introductory course that provides beginners with a broad and useful introduction to artificial intelligence concepts, application suggestions and social impact.

Bookmark service (MongoDB & Spring REST) -2/2

    I accidentally deleted my development VM. I got lucky having the habit of taking notes. This blog is useful. Development VM is doom to be lost. Rebuild it waste time, but having a clean slate is refreshing~. What concerns me more is my AWS free quota this month is reaching 85%. The second VM I launched but never being used might be the one to blame. (Of course, my mistake.) I terminated the wrong VM. Now I got Linux 2 built. Great, just threw away everything happened on AMI.  1st layer: Page Page class   Originally, I need to prepare getter/setter for all class properties for Spring. By using lombok, I only need to create constructors. lombok will deal with getter/setter and toString(). But there are chances to call getter/setter, but how? .......Naming convention.... Capitalize the 1st character with the prefix get/set.  Annotation @Data was used on this class.  Repository class Spring Docs: Repository https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/3....

Guide to Preserving HuggingFace Models in Google Colab Environments

Conclusion:  Step 1:  find the model path: ls ~/.cache  Step 2:  Copy the entire folder to Google Drive:  Step 3:  Set model path to the subfolder under snapshot: My Story: I initially began exploring Generative AI (GAI) and Google Colab through Stable Diffusion. In the past, as I mainly wrote server services and console applications, I was less familiar with data science modes like R and Jupyter that can maintain a paused state. I didn't quite understand the heavy burden on Colab of creating a temporary Stable Diffusion WebUI with .ipynb, as suggested by popular guides. I just found it troublesome that connections often took a long time and then dropped, requiring a restart. Recently, while testing new versions of the Stable Diffusion model, and facing challenges due to Colab's policies making various versions of WebUI difficult to run successfully, I started researching how to write my own test programs in Colab. Eventually, I understood that Colab is ess...

Setup Maven and two basic projects

    The interesting implementation of Java I proceed to is Spring. And, only getting Java running is not enough. I also need to set up Maven. This name is new to me, and I found many Spring tutorials just skip this part. At least I need Maven to generate templates for me. I should learn it more. ( I knew there is a great tool -- Eclipse -- can make tedious things disappear. I’m taking a strategy to install all experiments I want to try and throw away when it's full. And that's an external VM, not my PC. I, not yet, want to do research about installing Eclipse on AMI. )    Upgrade to Java 8     First is to upgrade Java on AMI to Java8. AWS provides advanced tools for Linux 2. And DIY for Linux2. At least there are solutions for my choice.  Amazon Corretto 8 Installation Instructions for Amazon Linux 2 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-8-ug/amazon-linux-install.html Here are commands I used: >wget */amazon-corretto-8-x64-linux-jdk.d...
