Week 4 - BALT 4396B - Further into Coding

 Further into Coding

These past couple of weeks in class we have been going over some of the tools that AI (Python) provides and how to use them. We've been focusing on more of the basic fundamentals and have seen the link of AI to math and coding. Last week we went over how math and coding are practically the base of AI and it is important to learn more advanced math if you are taking AI seriously. Especially with conventional AI. This week professor Kelsey mentions that we are moving more towards the coding portion of AI in class. 

Benefits of Coding: 

From Professor Kelsey's talk we can pick up that coding is also a concept that can be found in many of our professions and daily lives. He recommends that students look into computer science and recommends that those studying computer science get their master's degree. He believes that acquiring such skills is beneficial as AI/automation is impacting most of our careers. It just leads to job security as well. By getting into AI or any type of coding you don't necessarily have to switch majors or make it a main focus. We can learn how we could use AI in our specific field, and how to implement our skills properly into our objectives. 

Tips: 

- Something to keep in mind that may help as you learn coding is that whatever you learn from one programming language it can be carried over and used with another program. 

- AI can help you generate codes. 

- Python is a primary language of AI.

- AI can break down your work and give you analysis. Ex: a business analysis.
