In this part of the class work, your task is to find interesting concepts, methods, or applications dealing with Artificial Intelligence, and give a short presentation of about ten minutes to your classmates.
Choice of Topics
I suggest to coordinate your topic for this presentation with your team project. This way, you can explore relevant AI concepts, methods and tools that can help you with your team project, and at the same time assemble material for this presentation.
The easiest way to find helpful information is probably to use a search engine on the Web; a few good general starting points are also the Web sites of the American Association of Artificial Intelligence http://www.aaai.org/AITopics/, the Web sites of AI journals such as the IEEE Computer Society's "Intelligent Systems" journal.
The presentation should last about ten minutes, and you can use Powerpoint slides or similar. Unless you’ll be talking about material that you developed completely on your own, you need to include a bibliography at the end, with at least three references for sources you used, or links to additional information; if you use links, add information like title, author, organization, publication date - "naked" URLs are not sufficient. You may use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Bard, WALL-E or similar to assist with your presentation. If you do so, adhere to the following conditions:
- You are responsible for the content of the presentation. This includes a check for the validity of factual statements, the existence and use of sources of information, and the display of the information. Keep in mind that these systems sometimes "hallucinate" and make up statements that may sound plausible, but have no basis in the real world.
- You need to disclose which tools you used, and how.
Once you’ve identified your topic, go to the AI Nugget Signup Sheet on Canvas, select a free time slot, and enter your name and topic there. Later you’ll also add a link to your proposal and to the slides for the presentation.
