The document provides an overview and roadmap for Week 1 of the Citizen AI Engineer Program 2018. It outlines the mission to provide free and open training in artificial intelligence. Week 1 will cover an introduction to AI, recommended learning resources, social engagement activities, optional exercises and certification options. Participants can work towards Green Belt, Brown Belt or Black Belt certifications by completing modules and a final project. The roadmap recommends installing R, exploring AI libraries, joining local meetups, and analyzing breast cancer or prime number datasets.

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and think critically. Intelligence
plus character; that is the goal of a true education.” ― Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

3. Mission and Objectives
Mission of our program is to provide free, open and
world-class enablement of Citizen AI Engineers and help
advance the profession of Artificial Intelligence as well as its
allied disciplines.
We aim to prepare the participants with creative, analytical
and practical skills emphasizing breadth and depth in a
range of relevant disciplines and capabilities in Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, Knowledge-based Systems,
Software Architectures and Systems Engineering.

4. Who is a Citizen AI Engineer?
A Citizen AI Engineer is an individual who applies AI
to build solutions and products using Data,
Intelligence and Collaboration Technologies that will
help promote wellness, care and efficiency in
environment where she/he lives and works.
In doing so Citizen Engineers solve the problems on
a social scale and help others learn AI to solve their
problems.

6. Certification Options
Citizen AI Engineer program
While Certification is optional you are encouraged to pursue
certification. This has several benefits a) It allows you to challenge
yourself in a systematic way b) It allows for your professional
development c) Helps you explore more career opportunities d) It also
helps organizations to reach out to you in case they have
opportunities that can tap into your competencies. Please reach out to
Dr. Fleming <rachel@emodern.biz> if you are interested in pursuing
certification.
All our Certification options are free, open and available to anyone.
They are authentic, verifiable and they never expire.

CAI 500 - Week 1 at a glance

9. Discussion: Read The Most Important Skill In The Age Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by
Dr. Anna Powers on Forbes. What do you think is the most important skill Dr. Powers is
referring to? How will this skill make you more successful and valuable in your mission or
within your organization? Share your thoughts on the forum.
Additionally join the welcome thread. Introduce yourself and announce your interests in AI
and tell others how they would benefit the society or your local community.
There is also a Q&A thread. Please post there if you have a question or if you could
provide helpful answers to others.
Please always be courteous and respectful to everyone. And above all, be helpful. That is
what this program is all about!
Our Discussions take place on Citizen AI Engineer Program

10. Recommended Learning Plan
<Required> Read Artificial Intelligence Quick Guide
<Recommended> <MIT OCW> Watch Patrick Winston’s Artificial Intelligence Lecture 1
<Recommended> Read Chapter 1 Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach 3rd Ed. By Russell & Norvig
<Recommended> Artificial intelligence and the future of our work United Nations Development Program
<Optional> <MIT OCW> Read R for Machine Learning by Allison Chang
<Optional> Watch the movie Artificial Intelligence (You may check it out from your local library)
<Reference> Artificial Intelligence (3rd Edition) by Patrick H. Winston
We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.
- Alan Turing

12. Activities
<Recommended> Install latest R and R-Studio. R is language of choice for many AI, Analytics, Data
Science and Machine Learning projects. It is an amazing open source project with over 10,000 packages
and libraries. First install R language binaries and then install R-Studio which is an user-friendly GUI
environment to write and run your programs in R
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download
<Required> If you don’t already have one, get a gmail/google account - it will be very useful in sharing
documents and communicating with others. Start building your own AI Library on Google Drive.
<Practice> Visit try.Jupyter.org Jupyter is a integrated programming environment with a browser
interface. We will use Jupyter in the upcoming weeks.
<Recommended>Develop a database about the homelessness in your town. Capture relevant information
such as homeless shelters, distribution centers, soul kitchens, food pantries, support programs etc. and
share this dataset with local newspapers and town/city hall.

13. Activities (Contd…)
<Recommended> If you don’t already have one, get a Github account. This will be
extremely used to share code and documents. Github is required for certification.
<Required> Explore UCI Machine Learning Repository This is an excellent
collection of datasets used for exploring AI, Machine Learning and Data Science
<Practice> Visit ocw.mit.edu and bookmark this site.We derive our learning
modules and resources from MIT OCW program. Explore the site and familiarize
yourself with the program and contents. Explore the content for AI which is
available under the course number 6.034 We will use the material from Fall 2010
session.
<Practice> Research about United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals(MDG)
project. What are the 8 goals of this project. What do you think needs to be to

14. Optional Exercises
<Optional> Explore R and Machine Learning. Read R for Machine Learning by Allison Chang and attempt
to do the visualization of Habermann’s Breast Cancer Survival Rates as below. Refer section 3.4 titled
plotting. To do this exercise you need to have a) R (and preferably R-Studio) downloaded installed and b)
you need the Haberman’s survival data dataset from UCI Machine Learning repository.

15. Optional Exercises (contd...)
<Optional> Sieve of Eratosthenes Algorithm generates prime numbers in an efficient way from the prime
numbers that are already generated starting with the initial seed 2. Research the web for this algorithm.
Look for the implementation of this algorithm in the programming language you are familiar with. Try
running your implementation on try.jypyter.org. Feel free to post the screenshots in Facebook forum for
Citizen AI Engineer Program
<Recommended> Visit Benevolent.AI and explore the site. Research about a prevalent disease or
medical condition that afflicting your nation and see how you can help organizations fighting against this
disease through the grants Benevolent.AI provides.
<Certification Project> Explore Jill Watson from Georgia Tech and develop a mental model (thoughts and
ideas) for building this type teaching assistance for CAI program
<Certification Project> Chatbots are a rage in the industry currently. From Customer Service to Disease
diagnosis chatbots are being used extensively. Build a simple chatbot that can answer basic questions
about the Millennium Development Goals. Use the publicly available datasets from United Nations.

21. Thank You
He is also widely considered as one of the
founders of Artificial Intelligence, His most
influential paper Can Machines Think is
classic in the field of Artificial Intelligence
2015 Movie Imitation Game explores his
life and his contributions in some detail but it
doesn’t portray the full extent Turing’s
extraordinary genius and his phenomenal
contributions. Turing prize is highest honor
you can receive in Computer Science or AI.
It is equivalent to a Nobel Prize.
Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician who built Enigma machine - a code breaker - which
helped the Allies win the World War || by intercepting decrypting the messages between German
forces. He pioneered idea of general purpose computer - so called Turing Machine.
