In this lab exercise, I’d like to hear about your experiences with Artificial Intelligence in your life.
Tasks
Your task in this exercise is to select a program, device, or system that either incorporates some AI technology, or behaves in a way that can be viewed as intelligent, and describe your personal experiences with it. Here are a few examples:
- speech or handwriting recognition
- question answering systems
- virtual assistants (e.g. Siri for the iPhone/iOS systems)
- recommender systems (e.g. Netflix, Amazon, iTunes Genius)
- smart vehicles (parking assistance, lane-following, adaptive cruise control)
Administrative Aspects
Assignment Submission
This assignment must be submitted electronically via a Web form. Please note that I’m planning to make already submitted answers available when somebody just finished the questionnaire. So make sure that you’re not including information you’d prefer not to share with others. Only the information about the system you're discussing will be published, not the feedback on the lab itself.
Collaboration
This exercise is an individual assignment. You may coordinate your work on this with other students, such as your team mates, but everyone needs to submit their own answers through the Web form. For example, you can talk about the same AI system, but then describe your own experiences or interpretations.
Questions about the Assignment
If you have general questions or comments concerning exercise, post them on the Piazza Discussion Forum. The grader and I will check that forum on a regular basis, and try to answer your questions. If you know the answer to a support or clarification question posted by somebody else, feel free to answer it; this will count as extra participation credit.
