Course overview and goals
The purpose of this class course is to understand the current status and state-of-the-art of social implementation of AI and data science technologies, and to examine the applicability and challenges of these technologies. In each class, lecturers from companies in various fields such as architecture, IT, finance, and materials will introduce case studies of technology and product development using data science and AI.
The goal is for students to gain a broad perspective of the real world by acquiring knowledge about the application of data science and AI technologies in a wide range of fields, and by explaining their considerations about social applications in their assigned reports.
Therefore, in addition to the seven class sessions, this course emphasizes dialogue with company lecturers, and in principle, students shall participate in the DS&AI Forum to be held face-to-face on the Ookayama campus in the afternoon of June 3, 2024. (Added on March 29, 2024)
