BALT 4395 - Week 6

 Mathematics is foundational to artificial intelligence, providing the tools and models necessary for encoding, modeling, and processing information in ways that mimic human cognition. Essential mathematical areas like statistics, linear algebra, calculus, and probability are crucial for anyone aiming to work in AI, as they form the backbone of machine learning algorithms, neural networks, and natural language processing systems.

AI offers a broad range of career paths, ensuring there's something for everyone interested in the field. Opportunities include designing robots, implementing machine learning algorithms, and engaging in ethical AI discussions. Common roles in AI include machine learning engineers, data scientists, AI researchers, natural language processing engineers, computer vision engineers, robotics engineers, AI product managers, AI ethics specialists, AI business analysts, and software developers. Each of these positions comes with distinct responsibilities and challenges, allowing professionals to contribute to the growth of AI technology across multiple domains.



AI is transforming how mathematical problems are approached and solved. Personally, I struggled with math growing up and often found it challenging compared to other subjects like science. The lack of clear patterns and the multiple methods to arrive at solutions felt overwhelming rather than intriguing. However, seeing how AI can be prompted in different ways to produce varied responses has shifted my perspective. It shows how the approach to a problem can make a significant difference in understanding and solving it. This has sparked a growing interest in both math and AI as I now appreciate their shared focus on problem-solving, even if it didn’t come naturally to me initially. 

AI and math are closely linked, sharing a foundation of logic, structure, and problem-solving approaches. Both fields rely on breaking down complex problems into manageable parts and using patterns to find solutions. Mathematical models like linear algebra, calculus, and probability are essential in AI for representing and manipulating data, optimizing algorithms, and making predictions. Both aim for efficiency, with AI applying mathematical principles such as gradient descent for optimization. At their core, AI and math use abstraction and theoretical foundations to develop solutions, making AI an extension of mathematical concepts applied computationally.

BALT 4396 - Week 7 - Logos & AI

Image
In Week 7, I looked at the advantages of utilizing AI for logo creation and how it might help businesses. Artificial intelligence allows businesses to generate logos that reflect their personality and sector without the need for expensive human designers. For example, I utilized AI to swiftly create a logo for Instructional ABA Consultants (IABA), which is the ABA company I work for to give children with Autism therapy. This logo incorporates themes of child growth and behavioral advancement. AI logos are an excellent answer for startups because of their speed and cost-effectiveness. They help businesses to retain brand consistency across platforms. However, while AI provides numerous benefits, there are significant ethical problems to address. This week's readings highlighted how relying heavily on AI might disrupt creative industries and impact livelihoods, particularly for designers in developing nations. While AI-generated logos are quick and inexpensive, they can eliminate the...

This week, I had the opportunity to listen to Professor Kelsey’s audio recording, which provided a comprehensive recap of our course so far. The recording was filled with valuable insights and key takeaways that I found particularly enlightening. Listening to the material in an audio format was especially beneficial because it helped me stay focused and engaged while commuting to school this morning. Rather than trying to read or take notes while on the go, I was able to absorb the content effortlessly, using the time productively. The audio format allowed me to concentrate on the core concepts without distractions, making it easier to retain the information. Overall, it was a highly effective way to reinforce my learning, and I appreciated being able to integrate study time seamlessly into my daily routine. Professor Kelsey then explored the benefits of pursuing advanced education, specifically focusing on a master’s degree in machine learning. While a strong background in abstract ma...
