I completed the 5 weeklong Inspirit AI Scholars Program conducted by Stanford, MIT and more, students and alumni. During the first 3 weeks, in a cohort of 10, we learnt how to code with Python and AI libraries, learnt Machine Learning concepts along with regression and classification, and understood Natural Language Processing, Computer vision and Neural Network. During this time I also conducted a presentation on ethics within AI specifically on gender bias. Taking inspiration from the incident wherein Amazon scrapped a secret AI recruiting tool that showed bias against women, carried out a discussion on whether AI really can be trusted with recruiting employees especially in a field with a pre-existing gender gap? During the next 2 weeks of the program, we were divided into a group of 5 and completed a mentor-led AI for Social Good project where the programming skills developed in the first 3 weeks was applied. Under the guidance of a Harvard graduate, I worked on a socially impactful project namely “Distracted Drivers” wherein we used computer vision, machine learning techniques including CNN and transfer learning to create and improve an effective model to improve road safety.
